For the 1-time full device replacement service fee under the plan, all iPhone models will have a fee of RM299 except for the iPhone X, which is at RM499. As for the 1 time screen replacement charges, it will be completely free of charge whereas the battery replacement will cost RM49 for all iPhone models.

A survey by Otterbox Inc. in 2015 stated that 29% of Malaysians accidentally damage their smartphones within the first three months of purchase. The same study also revealed that 75% of Malaysian smartphone users have damaged their devices almost 3 times in the past 5 years.

Machines has selected Aon Insurance Brokers (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Aon Malaysia) as its insurance broker to offer this device protection plan, underwritten by AIG Malaysia Insurance Berhad.

Gwen Khor, Vice President, Affinity, Aon Malaysia said:

We are proud to support Machines in the development and rollout of the MPP. With the ever growing number of mobile devices and the upward trend of device damage rates amongst smartphone users in Malaysia, we believe that this protection plan comes at exactly the right time.

Andrew Cheng, Director of Machines, explained that the Machines Protection Plan will help relieve the cost of repairing or replacing damaged mobile devices that needs to be borne by customers.

Smartphones are becoming an increasingly important part of daily life as more and more Malaysians rely on them for personal and professional reasons. As the use of mobile phones becomes routine, the chances of accidental damage also increases. We are also working on extending the MPP to include new devices purchased from third-party sources such as telcos.

Pokdepinion: One of the biggest frustrations iPhone owners face is when their screen breaks. Sometimes, it just happens and you can’t help it but when you see how much the repairs cost, you just feel like crying. For the small price you’re paying for the protection plan, it will ensure that your use of the iPhone for the next 2 years will be headache-free. Better safe than sorry.
