I’ve installed Apple TVs for my clients for 12 years now and I can count on 1 hand unit that have failed. I still find og black ones with usb slots still operating. So no, they are pretty rock solid and I wouldn’t get AC

Its for the guy who posted earlier he cant reset his device and its less than 2 years old. Thats about it.

It unlikely will be needed, but you never know when you may be one of the unlucky ones who have a device that has a bad part after the 1 year manufacturers warranty expires.

Not exactly worth the money. Curious though how much was it? And can you cancel it

No but I don't buy "insurance" for anything I can afford to replace.

My Apple TV is five years old and still works perfectly although I did upgrade to the newer remote.

Even if it had broken in the second year out of warranty I could easily afford to replace it just from all the money I have saved on not purchasing extended warranties on anything :-)

I have had computers, iPads, iPhones and have never had any of them that needed the use of an extended warranty as they all lasted well beyond the length of Apple Care.

Apple care has given me two new computers over the years. With AC you’re given service when you’re most likely to need it 2+ years. Apple has treated me extremely well but I passed when I bought Apple TV

I believe it’s only $29. I bought it, but I agree it’s the least needed AppleCare device.

NO, it’s a waste

I'd pass. I get it for my watch because I'm clumsy, but your ATV just sits on a shelf.
