Hi all,

I just bought an iPhone 7 Plus used on Swappa. It was advertised with AppleCare+. My questions are:

1) Do we (former owner and New owner) need to do anything manually to transfer the AppleCare to me?

2) If I sell the phone later will AppleCare+ be transferred to new owner?

Thanks in advance.

I have done this before. The old owner needs to contact Apple and have it transferred to you.
 
Thanks. This is the original research I did which confused me because it was offset by some other comments I saw online. I appreciate the link. Now at least I can read with knowing what I need to do in mind.

Do you by chance know if AppleCare plus can be transferred more than once? And I have seen multiple different answers on this as well.
That I do not know. I have only transferred it once. Definitive answers would come from Apple. Why not give them a call?
 
I’ll try. I’ve always been hit or miss with them depending on the store. For example with the IUP program one store did not allow me to get the CDMA/GSM phone because my wife is T-Mobile but the other store did. Macrumors has always been more accurate for me. Thanks so much for your help.
