Can you transfer AppleCare after upgrading to new iPhone?

I purchased iPhone 14 pro max in Oct 2022 on Apple finance plan but paid in full for AppleCare . So I have more than a year care left on my phone. Now I plan to upgrade to iPhone 15pro max , will upgrading to iPhone 15 pro max transfer my AppleCare as well? If now then my money goes wasted which I already paid upfront to Apple.

No, the plans are not transferrable. You cancel the plan you have on your iPhone, then buy a new plan for the new iPhone. Apple will refund any money for the portion of the plan you have, which is unused.


See this link --> Cancel or change the payment method for your AppleCare plan - Apple Support


If you are in the US, you can call Apple directly at: 800-MY-APPLE and ask for AppleCare Plan Administration.


Do NOT cancel your current plan until you receive your new iPhone.
