Am I eligible for AppleCare Plus for iPhone 16 screen scratch

Got a minor scretch on my screen, am i still eligible to buy care plus? Purchased iphone 16 5 days ago and on the first day somehow got a scretch on my screen although i was planning to buy protect plus. Now I don’t know if I’m still eligible to buy Protect plus or not.

Purchasing AppleCare+ after damage has already occurred is a rather dubious decision. This is because AppleCare+ typically needs to be bought while the device is still in good working condition to cover future incidents. Attempting to buy the protection plan post-damage might not only be disallowed but also seems like an attempt to circumvent the standard procedures, making it an unreliable option for addressing pre-existing issues.
