Second hand (used) iPhone 11 has Apple care can I use it for repairs?

Hi, I recently purchased iPhone 11 online and it is in need of a battery service (75%), I noticed in the settings that the phone and a battery replacement is covered by Apple care, my question is can I use this cover and take the phone into store and get repaired? - I don’t know previous owner.

thanks

iPhone X, iOS 16

If it truly says it has AppleCare effective on it then it is covered by AppleCare under any owner.

For cost and availability, enter your model information in the "Get an estimate" box at the bottom. (I will let you do this since the answer will depend upon the country where you are located.)


Uh, you say you bought this online. Before you submit it for repair, I would also check this was done: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
