These include Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Cook Islands, Fiji Guam, Hong Kong Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Macao, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, SingaporeSouth Africa, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Tonga, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Vanuatu, and Vietnam.

It is worth mentioning that there is no cost to join the program, it just requires repair providers to have an Apple-certified technician who can perform the repairs to qualify for the program. Thereafter, qualifying repair providers can purchase genuine Apple parts and tools at the same price as AASPs.
