Hi, Actually, this is perfectly justifiable. Before just now, you only got one year of warranty if you included AppleCare, which truthfully isn't any better than what the insurance any other company can provide. In a lot of countries, you have an insurance which covers all damages to electronic equipment, like computers, televisions, microwaves and so-forth regardless of the warranty provided by the manufacturer. And obviously, Apple misleads customers by suggesting that we pay for AppleCare for the second and third year when the two-year law in Europe didn't cover it at the time, which actually should have been the case as the article says.
So, Apple deserves taking the heat for this one, though I'm kind of surprised their lawyers haven't acted on this to prevent the misleading claims. Since I'm into law, at least as a hobby, I've been rather upset when I've shown up with damaged equipment to find I wasn't covered, but my insurance company was perfectly able to replace the item if it was damaged beyond repair, at least if you include the coverage when signing insurance. Of course, I haven't had damaged items, but I like to test Apple since they've been rather troublesome, not just in this area but also when it comes to advertising. At any rate, I'm pretty happy to see Apple refining AppleCare and warranty now.
