How to change your AppleCare+ payment from monthly to annual

You'll need to ask Apple if you can change how you pay for it. We are all end users on this user to user only forum, like you are.

If you're in the US, call Apple at: 800-MY-APPLE and ask for AppleCare Plan Administration.

Hopefully you did not purchase an iPhone in the U.S. that you plan to use mostly in Japan. Your AppleCare is very likely only valid in the country where the iPhone was purchased.

sberman is correct. If you purchased your phone in the US with an AppleCare plan, it WON'T be valid in Japan, if that is where you live and use the phone. If you have an issue with the phone, you'll need to come back to the US for service. It's NEVER a good idea to buy an iPhone in a country you don't live. If you did this, you'd be best advised to return the phone to Apple for refund and buy the phone when you get back home. If you are unwilling to do that, cancel the AppleCare plan as paying for it would be pretty much a waste of money.

You’re welcome. Good luck in avoiding a charge for the AppleCare. Hopefully you may purchase it in Japan when you return home.

You're very welcome.
