Do you have a year to buy AppleCare in the US

I would like to add AppleCare. I heard that you can add it for up to a year in the US but you have to bring in the phone to a Genius Bar.

Here's what the US support site says: AppleCare Products - iPhone - Apple


How to buy

  1. Purchase either AppleCare+ product with your new iPhone.
  2. Or buy it within 60 days of your iPhone purchase:
    • On your device (go to Settings > General > About and choose AppleCare+ Coverage Available)
    • Online (requires you to verify your serial number and run a remote diagnostic)
    • At an Apple Store (inspection of iPhone and proof of purchase are required)
    • By calling 800-275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)

  • It also says “In some countries and regions, you can buy an AppleCare Protection Plan within 1 year of your purchase of an eligible Mac, Apple TV, or other device.”
  • What countries might those be.
  • i added AppleCare to my 13 PM before the year ran out.
  • Bit I am curious as to what countries get the year.
