Yes.

Being an AT&T customer myself, I would never buy my iPhone from anyone other than Apple. Apple knows their products, and sets them up perfectly with an AT&T account.

Yes (but it may be a little easier to buy it through AT&T at the same time you buy your phone -- but if you want Apple Care be sure that is what you are buying rather than their insurance).


To buy it from Apple directly, see the following fromAppleCare Products - iPhone - Apple


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)

Thank you both - I've purchased iphones from AT&T before with no issues in the store. I am ordering online at this point because the stores don't have the iPhone 13 Pro Max in house and don't expect to get any more this year. Ordering from AT&T gets one in my hands a couple of weeks earlier than directly from Apple.

Point you make about being easier to buy at the same time as the phone from AT&T is noted. I did see buying from Apple separately required the steps you outlined. However, AT&T is only offering their insurance - which I don't want. :-)

Appreciate the feedback and thanks again!
