AppleCare+ coverage for iPhone Duo folding display damage and international repair

I live in Botswana and plan to purchase an iPhone Duo with AppleCare+ in Dubai. Can you confirm whether accidental damage to the inner folding display and hinge will be covered if I request a repair in Botswana or South Africa? If local service is unavailable, will Apple arrange international shipping for the repair, and who will pay the costs?

Apple - One Year Limited Warranty - Worldwide

the normal warrenty of any product really do not cover accidental damage, it coveres production defects discovered after purchase

Legal - Hardware Warranties - Apple

and maybe

Warranty - Wikipedia


purchasing products outside of ones country or (union in the case of EU) is not something I would advice really


that being said I am not apple in any way


these forums are user helping other users like yourself, it's sort of going to a physical apple store and asking other customers their advice
