AppleCare+ does cover damage to an iPhone, but with some conditions. If you have AppleCare+, it includes up to two incidents of accidental damage protection every 12 months, subject to a service fee plus applicable tax. For screen or back glass damage, this fee is lower compared to other damage types. Without AppleCare+, replacing a damaged iPhone could cost the full price of a new device. Remember to check your coverage and warranty status on Apple's website and reach out to Apple Support for assistance.
