Very happy to see this in India even though I generally don't purchase AppleCare/protection plan or extended warranty of any sort. Pricing is similar to the US plans. However there is no option to subscribe to monthly plans at the time of device purchase. Don't know whether Apple will allow that in the near future.

Would have liked to see prices for all the devices, however since it can be purchased only within the first 60 days, I am able to see prices for both my 17 Pro Max and my mum's 17. Currently, purchase is not going through when I try to subscribe on my 17 Pro Max. Might be some temporary issue.

Now waiting for AppleCare One to launch in the country.

So even India now gets theft and loss yet Canada still gets squat. Must be 'cause we are nasty canadians.
We will conveniently lose our phones just before the expiry and apologize profusely, of course. 😉
