wanna ask if anyone is familar with AppleCare in Japan?
During my travels there 2 weeks ago, I bought an SE (3rd gen, 5G). The shop say it's "new" but I know it's those activated during telco purchase then sell as "never use".
anyway, the original seller apparently bought some kidn of plan cos the phone is covered by "AppleCare services" until 16th Mar, 2030. that's... 7 years from date of purchase. I couldn't find any details online, and Apple support chat all outsource to India so they are as clueless as my mother.
this is what I see in the checkcoverage website:
