Apple this week expanded the option to extend an expiring AppleCare+ plan to additional countries, including France, Italy, and Spain. In addition, Apple has also expanded the Mac coverage renewal option to all countries where extended AppleCare+ coverage is offered: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

If you paid upfront for an AppleCare+ plan for Mac, Apple may give you the option to purchase new coverage that renews on an annual basis.
Apple says that new coverage must be purchased within 30 days of when the original coverage ends, and customers can find out if they’re eligible for extended coverage by going to mysupport.apple.com and following the on-screen instructions.
