Oh Alabama, Connecticut, Nevada, and Wyoming — why can’t you be more like the other states?
If you live in one of the aforementioned places, don’t bother buying AppleCare for your new iPhone. It won’t work there due to a protective bubble of ardent consumer protection that’s been enacted for some reason or another.
You might have better luck trying to get some sort of protection through your credit card company or bank. Even though you can’t get AppleCare, think of all the wonderful things you have access to that people from other states don’t.
Alabama: overly hospitable people and the Robert Trent Jones golf trail.
Connecticut: penny loafers and khaki pants as far as the eye can see.
Nevada: my dignity, a pair of my pants, and most of my money.

Wyoming: to be honest, I forgot you were a state for a while there but I now remember that you have many picturesque nooks and crannies.
So AppleCare, SchmappleCare. Thanks for everything else, you four.
