To clarify, an AppleCare+ plan does not have to be purchased with the device - but can be added post device-purchase.


AppleCare+ is available for purchase from Apple within 60-days of initial device purchase/activation. Eligibility to purchase can usually be established from iPad Settings; you should see the AppleCare option visible in iPad settings - this usually appearing just below your Name / AppleID.


If not seen, you may see the option to purchase AppleCare here:

Settings > General > About > Coverage


You can also purchase AppleCare for eligible devices directly from Apple’s website:

AppleCare Products - Apple
