This depends on laws/regulations for extended warranties in a particular country. The AppleCare extended warranty is not available in all states in the U.S. for this reason - due to state laws/regulations for extended warranties that Apple doesn't meet, or has decided not to meet.

ok, but i dont'understand why there are apple care for imac, macbook, etc... in all country and they are valid all over the world. Only applecare for iphone has this restriction? it hasn't sense... But my perplexity is the fact that ONLY in us there is this product. is it possible that for all rest of the countries are there different laws?

excuse me for my english, if you can't understand, try to use google translator 😀

It is because the iPhone is tied to communications law in each country and to contracts with phone operators.

I don't believe the AppleCare extended warranty is available in ALL countries for ALL other Apple products.

But my perplexity is the fact that ONLY in us there is this product. is it possible that for all rest of the countries are there different laws?

It is possible, and it is also possible that Apple chooses not to offer the AppleCare extended warranty for the iPhone in other countries except for the iPhone sold in the U.S.
