Hi everyone.
Does anyone know when the Apple Care + will be available for Taiwanese iPhone users to buy?
I really want to extend my iPhone X warranty to 2 years period.
However, Apple Care + is not available for Taiwanese users to buy.
Does anyone know how to extend the warranty for Taiwanese users?
Thanks a lot in advance if anyone can answer my question.
iPhone X, iOS 11.2.5
OK - I see. I can't read Chinese, but I now see at the bottom of the page there's nothing for iPhone or Apple Watch like there is on the US AppleCare page.
So no. Apple apparently doesn't offer AppleCare or AppleCare+ for iPhones in Taiwan. Also - AppleCare/AppleCare+/warranties for iPhones don't transfer internationally, so buying one where AppleCare is offered wouldn't help. You might be able to find a company that offers some sort of extended service contract, but it may be tied to a network of aftermarket repair businesses, and that may result in Apple refusing to service (even a battery replacement) a device that they consider to have been tampered by an unauthorized repair facility.
Still - you might not get Apple's phone service beyond the one year warranty, but isn't there an Apple Store at Taipei 101? If you can show up in person, Apple Store service is the best I've ever seen. They don't charge a thing to diagnose a problem, and a lot of the fixes can even be free as a courtesy if there's no actual physical repair that requires parts. Just yesterday I was at one trying to diagnose my iPad Mini 4 WiFi issues. I was there with my child and after checking in. I waited next to my child (playing a game on a Mac) while waiting to be called when the Apple employee came to me. The entire diagnosis was done right there rather than being told to go to the "Genius Bar". On top of that, I bought my device at an authorized reseller (at an extremely good sale price) and not an Apple Store. That made no difference to Apple in how I was treated. When you pay a premium for an Apple product in an area with Apple Stores, you're getting that level of support no matter where you bought the device.
Now if you're in Kaohsiung then you can ignore all that praise about Apple Store service. 😉

No, As you can see the image below.
I would like to buy the Apple Care+ plan for my iPhoneX
However, there is no link available to do so.
That's why I ask this question for a solution.
I would like to extend my warranty to 2 years as other countries' users can do.
if there is a solution, please let me know or let every Taiwanese user know.
Thanks anyway.
Isn't there regular AppleCare in Taiwan? I can't read Chinese (and my Mandarin is extremely limited), but I think this is the AppleCare Taiwan page:
Apple Care+ for Taiwan iPhone users
