Read the T&Cs here and decide if it's worth the price to you.

While you get 'unlimited' coverage at face value, there's a fee-per-incident that varies by kind of damage, so you'll still be paying decent $$$ out of pocket every time you make a claim.

I know that it's like an insurance by Apple. Are there any alternative? Does this cover lost or stolen?

Apple Care + only covers damage/hardware malfunction for 24 months. Loss/Theft is not covered.

I opted for it 3 months ago when I picked up the new iPhone.
Personally - I take pretty good care of my phone. However since I run and am at the gym on and off, I did not want to worry about my phone breaking, I coughed up the ~20k for peace of mind. While the filing charges under the plan are 2.5k (screen) and 8.9k (other damage), out of pocket repairs are significantly higher - 50-55k is what I am told for the PM.

All in all, it's really upto you. Is it worth it ? depends on your use case. You have 60 days from date of purchase to opt for it.
