British Applecare on American Mac?

[Mr Skills]

I am getting a MacBook Air from America, and want to get Applecare for it. If I buy AppleCare in the UK will it work on the American computer?


I think I read somewhere that you can purchase AppleCare anywhere and it's the same, but I just want to check.

There is only one AppleCare, no matter where it's sold.

Exactly. It applies wherever Apple is, worldwide.

Why are buying AppleCare in the UK ? It is much cheaper to buy from eBay.com as several members of this forum have done. The AppleCare box contains a code number which you use to register on-line.

It does not matter where you buy the AppleCare and you can buy it anytime up to the first anniversary of the purchase date.

My friend bought his MacBook from Germany and then Apple Care from US and didn't have a problem.

Desktops are covered, but I can't image people traveling with a desktop unless you're a professional. And iPhones are only supported in countries where they are officially sold.
