AppleCare+ for Mac availability has expanded to Spain, Singapore, Thailand, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau as of this week.

AppleCare+ extends the warranty period of a Mac by an additional three years from the AppleCare+ purchase date, and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a service fee that varies by model. AppleCare+ is available for every Mac that Apple sells - prices vary.

Until now, only the basic AppleCare Protection Plan was available for the Mac in these regions, which provided 24/7 priority access to Apple support advisors via online chat or phone, but did not include accidental damage coverage.

Without AppleCare, most Apple products have a limited one-year warranty and an initial 90 days of complimentary support.

AppleCare+ for Mac expanded to Canada, Mexico, Austria, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom in October 2018. It is also available in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.

Can someone explain what’s the benefit of buying Apple care in Europe when European law demands a three year warranty from any hardware vendor?
