Hi khnatiuk,
No, you cannot purchase Apple Care a year after purchasing your device 😟 Apple Care must be purchased with the device at the time of purchase.
Hope this helps!

Actually, you can purchase it within 60 days of buying your iPhone. However, if you purchase it after the initial purchase of your iPhone, you are required to have your device inspected at an Apple Store or by calling a number and running a remote diagnostic.
