Travelling japan now . Osaka BIC Digital camera 4PM time – Bought a model new M1 2020 1TBSSD 512GB, 1 y guarantee for 100k yen which is $1,153NZD , 667USD, 612EUR. Tremendous uncommon in Japan because it has a US keyboard and it is a tremendous deal.
Bought house 5PM- turned on battery lifeless . 1% – ” Service really helpful ” Sealed for 4 years rendered battery lifeless.
Possibility 1 – full refund ( needed to hustle BIC as they tough )
Possibility 2– apple 1 12 months warranty- anticipate alternative (1-2 weeks wait – so accommodating and many others will price)
Possibility 3 – AppleCare+- 27,000 yen (180USD ,$320NZD)
Does apple care purchased in Japan work for NZ AUS guarantee?( will probably be residing between New Zealand and Australia)?
I’ve until April seventeenth to purchase Applecare if I resolve to maintain it .
However can I purchase apple care from the New Zealand web site for a JAPAN bought macbook M1 2020- since that is my residence space after travels finish?
On-line reddit, stackexchange give so many variations- some say its all worldwide guarantee , some say its higher to get AC+ from place of buy (Japan)
Please advise..I’ve much less then 16 hours .
I will probably be returning to NZ and AUS after my Asia travels achieved .
I’ve until tomorrow march 20 9PM for refund.
