This sounds more like SingTel own device insurance plan than ac+ though

quick question: if normal warranty expires on 1 October 2022, so technically can purchase AC+ even on 1 Oct as long as phone passes diagnostics test right?

What if u buy applecare for iPhone 14 Pro today, then cancel when almost 1 year up and you go istudio or alabs buy after a year. Will it works? Then you got full 3 years.

no you wont. it has been registered in apple's system that you have applecare before already and past 30 days. so you cant re-applecare it. I know coz i asked this question before to the applecare team when processing the refund.

i asked if the next person who takes over my device, can he re-applecare it... they say nope. once refunded thats it.

I tot AppleCare+ must be purchased within 60 days? Why it can be waited until one year later then purchase?

depends where you buy from
apple direct - within 60days
AASP (Apple Authorised Service Provider) - within 1year

AASP can still go to genius bar to get servicing.
