Why it worked

Summary

The video describes a person who paid for AppleCare+ on their iPhone for two years, totaling $398. When they cracked their screen, they paid a $29 service fee, which made them feel the entire plan had been worth the cost.

4Paying the service fee
5Feeling the plan was worth it

Product placement

AppleCare+ ACTS - it is a service plan that covers iPhone repairs, and its value is demonstrated by covering a cracked screen repair. Removing it would change the story about the value of the plan. Apple ACTS - it is the manufacturer of the iPhone. Removing it would change the story about the phone.
