Hi! I just ordered my new iPhone 17 today and when I told my dad, he was interested in having my old iPhone 14 Pro. I’m still paying an AppleCare+ subscription on my iPhone 14 Pro and I was wondering that if I gave my dad this phone, will he still be able to benefit from this subscription? I’m just conscious about the battery health as it’s at 83% (maximum capacity) and it may need replacing within the next year. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

See this link about how to transfer the plan --> Transfer your AppleCare plan - Apple Support

Before you give the phone to your dad, please make sure you prepare it appropriately for a new user, by following the directions in this link --> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Yes, AppleCare+ is transferable one time to a new owner. Contact AppleCare for instructions on how to do so. Basically, you just give them the info of the new owner.
