Apple Revises Warranty Policies In Europe To Comply With EU Laws
ccguy writes "Apple revised its warranty policy in Italy last year after being hit with a €900,000 fine for not complying with an EU-mandated two-year term. The company has today revised the terms of its warranties in France, Germany and Belgium, specifying that customers are entitled to repairs and replacements of their Apple products for a full two years after purchase, and not just one as previously stated. No word yet on when the rest of the EU will see those changes, but it would now seem to be just a matter of time before other countries get the new terms as well."
No he is right. I bought a mac pro in 2008. I hoped it would last 5 years, so than the price was okay. But ever yyear it would break down once or twice. And the applecare only lasted for 3 years. After 3 years they put in a new motherboard (new is relative, it was made in 2008), the nvidia blew it self up twice, after overheating. And the power supply broke down 3 times. Instead of putting in a new better one, the always put one in, that was build in 2008, even 3 years later. And the repairs only lasted for 6 months, than I could come back.
So now that mac pro is laying somewhere, and I won't ever buy another piece of shit hardware from apple ever again.
