HN accidentally discovering insurance fraud is sort of a trope at this point.

This isn’t insurance fraud if the battery wear is under normal use. The problem with the plan is that an existing $20 per month plan is required to add old devices, so won’t be able to just pay for a single month.

    It's typically fraud to purchase insurance with an undisclosed pre-existing problem that you know and intend to use said insurance to pay for.
