I made my judgement on the fact that the most expensive manufacturer in the market will stand by its products for the shortest term. Continue to call me a troll as much as you like - regular users know I put myself put out to help posters on here- but Apple's behaviour, as the most expensive company in the market with the shortest warranty needs highlighting.

Hey call them out as much as you want but length of warranty has no bearing on the life of a product. But please correct me with links to reliable sources that say Apple products last X amount of years and other manufactures of similar products last this X amount of years all because of warranty.

Of course it has a bearing. What planet do you live on?

What has a bearing?

I assume you will reply with some off topic subject matter like you having been doing throughout this debate?

Wait rather than doing that please can you do the thing i asked in my last post

Why don't you do that, since you're now knocking on about it repeatedly just like your "Consumer law" posts. As for the what - as I said previously, it takes intelligence to read even when it's based on what you had just written - and it's not exactly rocket science.

Well you see I can’t because there is no data out there that link length of warranty to life of product hence my whole argument.

As you don’t like me mentioning consumer law all the time I will just mention it one more time in that consumer law does not mention any link between warranty and life of product. :beer:

I would expect price to be the biggest factor in how long a product should reasonably be expected to last.

Psychologically it would make sense as I would be miffed to spend £1000 only for a product to fail early in its life rather than a £10 kettle lol... but unfortunately in the eyes of the law they are both a treated the same way.

So a court of law would deem a £10 kettle should last just as long as a £100 kettle?

If that's the case, what actually does determine how long a product should last?

Various things i guess....

How much you use product.
How careful are you with it.
Individual component failures.
Poorly design/manufactured.

Last year you had Samsung with the note 7 recall because of a design flaw.

The court wouldn't. In fact the court won't deem anything, it's up to the claimant to prove that the item should have lasted longer.
