Apple Is Forced By EU To Give 2 Years Warranty On All Its Products
dsmalle writes "Apple has adapted its warranty to cover 2 years, under pressure of the European Union and after European consumer organizations sued Apple. From the article: 'The warranty conditions have been changed and these changes can be found on the website of Apple. Products that are purchased on the website of the manufacturer or in stores are now under warranty for two years, as it is required by the EU warranty guidelines. However, the warranty for Apple products that have been purchased elsewhere will not change and they will only be given a limited one-year warranty.'"
Yeah, why in the world would people want to be sure their shiny toys are covered for a reasonable period? If they don't WANT shit that breaks in a year and a day, they don't have to BUY it, right fanbois?
Anyway, this is moot. Apple sends out the fanboi alert about once a year anyway, and the lemmings line up for the next model.
