AppleCare+ for the iPhone X costs $199 and must be added within 60 days of initial purchase.

Coverage includes two incidents of accidental damage, with screen repairs costing $29 and other repairs (such as back glass) priced at $99. AppleCare+ also doubles the warranty period from one year to two.
