Applecare+ - Do I need to buy the phone from telco or Apple itself?

[alfseeto]

If I bought a brand new phone from a 3rd party shop can I still get Applecare+?

With the latest ios you can sign up directly for the ac+ from settings on the phone itself using credit card, if your phone qualifies. Note there's a 60days eligibility period, after which u can't buy AC+

This may help:

Purchase AppleCare+ with your new iPhone. Or buy it within 60 days of your iPhone purchase:

Online (requires you to verify your serial number and run a remote diagnostic)
Call 800-186-1087 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)

Can la... Apple care is a just another product from Apple like airppds
Provided your phone is sealed
If not need them to inspect first

Make sure the warranty is not activated past 60 day.
