I am going to be buying one of the new iPhones for my daughter. She lives in a different city but is on my phone plan. So I plan to buy the phone for her. I will use my Apple Card to pay for it. Two questions about mechanics:

1. Will I be able to have the phone delivered to her which is not my address? Or, do I need to receive it and then send it to her?

2. Also refresh me. If I can get Apple to send it, does it require signature? Her apartment is not that secure and she is usually at work during the day anyway. So I usually mail stuff to her work (she works in a small shop). If she is not there when the phone is delivered can a co-worker sign for it? The alternative would be for me to have the phone sent to me and then I could mail it insured to her at the shop. (She is a 4 hour drive away so I don't want to take it to her).

3. If I buy the phone, will she be able to buy Apple Care once she gets the phone? I know I can buy it when I buy the phone but I'm paying for the phone not Apple Care so prefer she buy that herself.
