AT&T may begin offering insurance for iPhone

iPhone users know the pain of dropping their device and ruining the screen or LCD and not having insurance on the device to get it replaced. Worry no more, iPhone fans, as Boy Genius Report has received a tip from an AT&T employee saying that iPhone users will soon be able to get insurance for their device. Previously, one could only buy AppleCare for an iPhone directly from Apple, which cost $69 and only covered technical problems with the screen, battery, or headphones. The new insurance plans from AT&T will be titled "MobileProtect" and will be run through Asurion. The plans will be available for purchase through Apple's App store for $13.99 a month, charged to the credit card that Apple has on file. Deductibles range from $99 for the 8 GB 3G all the way up to $199 for the 32 GB 3GS. Also, the insurance plan must be purchased within 30 days of buying your new iPhone. The whole thing sounds kind of pricey, but it may be worth it to have that sort of protection for your precious iPhone. Would any of you buy this service or will you be a rebel, risking your iPhone's life daily without any sort of insurnace plan?
