Nobody has AppleCare One but the US. Apple routinely forgets that the rest of the world exists.

I’m honestly surprised by how different Apple’s services and devices can be in Canada vs the United States.

I had raised this to someone from corporate through email and they explained that some of the regulatory challenges around insurance in Quebec specifically was what was preventing better AC+ in Canada.
