Can I take out AppleCare same day as I purchase from a store?

Hi,

I really need to purchase a new phone.

There is an iPhone 17 available from an electrical goods store near to me. If I purchase from there can I take out AppleCare+ online straight away? Thank you

AppleCare+ for iPhone 14 after one year I tried to get AppleCare+ but I couldn’t obviously due to it being a year old. Is there any other support or insurance I can get through Apple. My phone is through Spectrum now. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Can I still purchase AppleCare for my daughter's iPhone? We purchased an iPhone for my daughter 11/2023. She was having issues with the phone on 3/2024 so we went to Apple Store and they replaced it with a brand new phone. 2 Apple techs said that I could purchase AppleCare for this phone so I went home and proceeded to follow their instructions signing up in settings. Well after 2 attempts and 2 calls to Apple support Inwas told my new device is not eligible. So is it or isn’t it? I am disheartened by the conflicting information [Re-Titled by Moderator]
