iPhone 12 mini Why can't I purchase Apple Care for my iPhone?

[iHorseHead]

Hey,
I can't find Apple Care for the iPhone from my country anywhere. No reseller sells it. The same with my home country or neighbour countries, but if I go to https://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone/ there is Apple Care for iPhone.

Any reason why I can't find Apple Care for iPhone from anywhere?

It is an insurance product. It isn't available in every country. It sounds like it isn't available in yours.

Shame, because even when I try from Apple.com I don't manage to buy it and the resellers here just offer AppleCare for Macs and iPads.

Apple.com is their US website.

Apple.com is their US website.

I know, but even when I try from the local website, click AppleCare and then iPhone then it directs me to the US site and says I'm not able to purchase it + resellers don't sell it.

The applecare page exists because, as you said, it's sold for other devices. It isn't available for iPhones in whatever location you're in and tells you as such.

Can you buy it from your Apple ID, right on your phone?

Nope. It directs me to the US page and I can't purchase AppleCare from the US.

I’d contact Apple to find out more as to the why part. And no, they won’t sell insurance from one country into another.

Hit it on the head. Should have called Apple direct and ask them.
