My daughter bought a Galaxy Something and I bought an iPhone. She got Square Deal or some such name and I bought Applecare Plus. We both needed help. Hers was a royal pain and we ended up spending much more money to get it fixed. We supposedly would get money back, but we never did. Ugh.
Meanwhile, I have used Applecare Plus with all my iPhones (3GS, 4, 4s, 5, 5s, 6, 6s, and now the 5se), my Macbook Pro, and my Mac Mini . No, all the products weren't broken, but any time I've had questions I've been able to call and talk to a live person who really cares.
As for the actual warranty parts, Apple has bent over backwards to please me and I am so impressed. PLUS, when I've upgraded phones and cancelled my warranty on the old phone, they've issues a generous refund. Then I've purchased an additional warranty on the new product.
DON'T have a Mac product without this. I'm not saying the items will break, but if you have *any* questions, the reps are wonderful!!

Please don't bother reading this if you only want a droid. I'm going to assume that you like iPhones if you're still with me. I've had an iPhone since the 3.
I liked my 5s, but decided to upgrade to the new processor of the 6, then 6s. I really didn't care for the larger size and actually returned it, only to re-buy it a few months later. I kept saying, "If only they made the 6s in the size of the 5."
And guess what--they listened (not to me, obviously, but to someone!). This does *almost* everything my 6s did.
Cons (stuff not on the 5se, but on the 6s):
--no stair counter on the dashboard. Can't figure out why. I can live without it.
--no extra 3D touch or whatever that is. I didn't use it nor do I care about it.
--supposedly a less sensitive home button for the finger touch ID. I disagree. Mine is better than my 6s
--supposedly a worst selfie camera, but I haven't found that to be the case.
--supposedly worse on Facetime. Again, I haven't found that to be true.

Pros:
--super quick processor. Probably it's only in my mind, but it seems faster than my 6s
--great size. Fits everywhere
--easy to use with one hand. Yay!
--CHEAPER. I sold my 16GB 6s for the same price as the 64GB 5se. Then I cancelled my applecare plus on the 6s and got back enough of a refund to pay for the same care on my new phone.
--Weird Perk: I happen to love Otterbox Defender cases. AND, I like the old 5 cases which cover the home button. I prefer it covered for two reasons. 1) Protection (duh), and 2) I actually don't care about the touch ID because sometimes I want to take a quick picture. If I accidentally sign on with the touch ID then I have to find the camera on my home screen. If I don't sign in, then I can just slide it up on the screen.

ANYWAY, the old Otterbox Defender cases for the 5 are SOOOO much cheaper than regular 5s cases, and definitely cheaper than 6/6s cases. I mean, like $8 on Amazon if you look around, and these are authentic cases.
If you prefer to use the touch ID, the 5s Otterbox cases have a cutout for the home button. The 6 cases have a little film over the cutout and it makes the button slightly less sensitive. What this means is that the 5s cases are actually better for the touch ID.
I hope all this makes sense.
