I am going to be buying one of the new iPhones for my daughter. This is a gift. She is an adult and lives in a different city but is on my T mobile phone plan (she pays her share each month).
So I plan to buy the phone for her. I will use my Apple Card to pay for it. Two questions about mechanics:
1. Does anyone know if I will I be able to have the phone delivered to her which is not my address Or, do I need to receive the phone and then send it to her? I would prefer to send to her. She lives a 4 hour drive away from us and with Covid I don't want to drive it to her. But one option would be to just drive it down there and back and just stop minimally for bathroom breaks and maybe drive through for food.
2. Also refresh me. If I can get Apple to send it to her, does the phone receipt require signature? One problem might be that even if I could get Apple to send to her, it would be addressed to me.
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? (But again, I think it would come addressed to me if the phone was shipped by Apple.
The alternative other than driving there would be for me to have the phone sent to me and then I could mail it insured to her at the shop. I would definitely insure it if I did that.
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.
