Apple warranty or John Lewis warranty for uk consumer law

whitejohn

Was considering buying expensive Apple products from John Lewis as they offer 2 years warranty.

Then I noticed this on the Apple site regarding warranty under UK consumer rights.

"England and Wales: 6 years from date of delivery"

Can I really get 6 years warranty if I buy direct from Apple? (Apple's limited warranty is just 1 year)

UK Consumer Law is from the vendor only .

Warranty is an extra and not a consumer right .

The six years is not a warranty but the time scale in which you can take the vendor to court under Consumer Rights .Vendor not Apple  unless Apple are the vendor .

JL  extra two years warranty plus your standard  consumer rights .

Apple purchase one year warranty plus your standard consumer rights .

And note that six years is just the absolute maximum - it doesn't mean that everything ought to last six years, or that you won't be expected to prove a problem was inherent in the product.

You're misunderstanding the difference between warranties and your statutory consumer rights.
