If you are upgrading from an older MacBook, you can trade it in at Best Buy, Apple and sell it to some other retailers. Check out this guide to the MacBook Pro trade-in process and where to sell for the most money.
If you buy AppleCare through B&H Photo with your new MacBook Pro you pay less than going through Apple, but the protection is for two years, not three like you get through Apple.
USB C to Lightning Cable | |||||||||||||||||
When it comes to connecting your iPhone to your MacBook Pro, the best option is to buy a USB C to Lightning cable instead of using an adapter that is more likely to get lost or left at home. Sure, an adapter would double as a USB adapter for other devices, but we're looking to remove adapters as possible. I own two of these cables and I love them. Not only can I connect my iPhone directly to the Mac, but if I plug this cable into my MacBook Pro charger I can fast charge my iPhone X. This also works for the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. When fast charging the iPhone charges up to 50% in 30 minutes. Apple sells two official USB C to Lightning cables. You can use this to charge your iPhone or iPad, sync to iTunes and even to use with Duet to use your iPad as a second display for your MacBook Pro. | |||||||||||||||||
