apple care on replacement phone

I received a replacement phone because apple couldn't repair my original one. I want to get apple care on my new phone but It is saying I am not eligible because the serial number and purchase date is from when I got the original phone. Is there any way to get apple care on the new phone?

iPhone 13, iOS 17

To expand a bit on Johnathan's 100 percent correct answer, the warranty on the replacement phone is the same as on the phone it replaced (or 90 days, whichever is longer). So, if you didn't have Apple Care on the original phone, you can't get it on the replacement. Conversely, if you had Apple Care already, the replacement phone would inherit that.
