If I pay my AppleCare monthly, can I sell my iMac to other people?

I have AppleCare until 8/2025 for my iMac. I am selling my mac to a friend. I read online that if I pay my AppleCare monthly, I cannot transfer to other people because it is tie to my Apple account. What can I do if my friend need to bring it for repair now till 8/25? Can he bring it in or I need to go in with him since the AppleCare is under my name? And when the coverage expired, can he buy a new plan under his name?

You need to check with Apple; some plans are transferable. Call 800-275-2773 and ask for the Applecare division. If allowed, you can transfer the plan to the buyer.

It's your property; you can do anything you want with it.

If you pay monthly and you stop paying, the contract will expire. Whether or not that hurts you in the future is a question you need to ask Apple.

If your friend buys it, it's his and everything about it is his responsibility. Again, talk to Apple.

Yes.

You are free to cancel your monthly Apple Care+ at any time, and you should cancel it when you sell it to your friend unless you plan on paying it for him.
