The Iphone Blog

According to EU law, all devices sold must be covered for two years after purchase. Apple only offers one year on the iPhone, which leaves the retail outlet to cover issues after that time period. In Norway, this extends to five years, creating a substantial gap in the coverage provided by Apple, and that their resellers have to cover. All things considered, I think that shifting to a more consumer friendly, European style of protection probably wouldn’t be a bad thing. Plus, then there would be stronger anti-monopoly laws, and limits to compulsory contract lengths, both of which would help get more users onto the iPhone, and offer them more control over what to do with it.
