If I purchase any AppleCare plan in USA, does it cover my phone in India or UK or other countries. I am more interested about India and UK AppleCare coverage.

I know that this post is from 2 months ago, but I’m tired of reading wrong responses, everybody say something with no experience about it.
I bought my iPhone 13 in Mexico City and I used apple care + in 3 different countries,
First time I was in Spain, I went to an Apple Store, they told me that they don’t had my same model as I bought it in Mexico, so I had to wait 10 days (it was just 4 days) then I pick up my new phone, no charge for me, it was 0, i don’t know why
second time I was in USA, same thing, they had to ask for my model from other country, I told them that I was on vacation and they helped me asking for a expedited shipment, 3 days after, I got my new phone, they charge me the fee this time
third time in Colombia (there is no Apple Store there) so I went to an authorized reseller, 6 days after, I got my new phone, no charge for me this time, it was free.
Now, I bought an iPad Pro in Colombia, they don’t offer Apple care + here, so I ask to a friend in Japan to buy it to me online with her card, it works perfectly.
So yes, Apple care is worldwide.

It's better to read the terms and conditions of AppleCare+ than speculating what will happen based on personal experience, I'm glad that it worked for you. But each case is different and we can't guarantee what will happen if it's not included in AppleCare+ Terms and conditions.
if still in doubt Contact - Official Apple Support for a definitive answer.
It's at the discretion of the people at the service center. They likely won't have international iPhone models on hand for replacements, and therefore aren't obligated to honor warranties or AppleCare plans from outside their own country(except when both are in the European Economic Area or Switzerland).

Re: “… everybody say something with no experience …”
Quoting the opening sentence of the 1st reply:
”It's at the discretion of the people at the service center.”
No.
It also say in terms that you need to have the receipts and they never ask for them, this is just for Apple to be legally armored in some cases, anyway, facts are more important that anything else ;)
If I purchase AppleCare in the US, does it cover my iPhone in other countries?
