Hello JaboLewis1,


Some information about Apple Care+ plans can be found in this Apple Support article.


https://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone/


I do not believe you would have the option to purchase a plan unless you bought the iPhone within the past 60 days. Apple does offer an “after service guarantee” but that would not cover accidental damage. If you are worried this may happen again I would invest in a protective case and screen protector for the iPhone.


“How to buy

  1. Purchase either AppleCare+ product with your new iPhone.
  2. Or buy it within 60 days of your iPhone purchase:
    • On your device (go to Settings > General > About and choose AppleCare+ Coverage Available)
    • Online (requires you to verify your serial number and run a remote diagnostic)
    • At an Apple Store (inspection of iPhone and proof of purchase are required)
    • By calling 800-275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)

For information on how to renew an existing plan, click here.”


”Our guarantee after service

We guarantee our service, including replacement parts, for 90 days or the remaining term of your Apple warranty or AppleCare+ coverage, whichever is longer. We offer this whenever you get service from us or from an Apple Authorized Service Provider. This is in addition to rights provided by consumer law.

I hope this helps.
