AppleCare+ coverage for iPhone Duo folding display damage and international repair

I live in Botswana and plan to purchase an iPhone Duo with AppleCare+ in Dubai. Can you confirm whether accidental damage to the inner folding display and hinge will be covered if I request a repair in Botswana or South Africa? If local service is unavailable, will Apple arrange international shipping for the repair, and who will pay the costs?

the warrenty of any apple product are not international


Apple - One Year Limited Warranty - Worldwide


Legal - iOS Warranty Document Us - Apple


International Warranty - Apple Community


more apple international warranty - Google-


the normal warrenty of any product really do not cover accidental damage, it coveres production defects discovered after purchase

Legal - Hardware Warranties - Apple

and maybe

Warranty - Wikipedia


purchasing products outside of ones country or (union in the case of EU) is not something I would advice really


that being said I am not apple in any way


these forums are user helping other users like yourself, it's sort of going to a physical apple store and asking other customers their advice
