Apple mac computers now carry a 3-year warranty, though only in australia and new zealand

According to national consumer protection legislation, Mac computers made by Apple have already been warranted for three years in Australia and New Zealand as of yesterday.

Greater guarantee, greater tranquility

If by some remote chance you are reading to us from Australia or New Zealand, it is good that you know that, from now on, your bitten apple computer already has a three-year warranty from the original date of purchase, even if you have not Acquired the optional AppleCare + that Cupertino's usually offer us. Of course, this extension of the guarantee is not due to the good will of the company, but to the consumer law of these countries.

From now on, Apple will offer warranty protection on most components of Mac computers for up to 24 months after the limited warranty period that corresponds to the first year after the date of purchase, in accordance with consumer law in each one of these country. This has been made known by the company through an internal document distributed to Apple Stores and authorized Apple suppliers.

In this way, Apple complies with Australian and New Zealand laws that give consumers the right to request a free repair or replacement in the event a product fails within a “reasonable” period of time after purchase.

Components now under this three-year warranty include the display, the battery, the SSD or hard drive, RAM, logic boards, the GPU, internal cables, power supply, and other electronic components, so virtually the entire Mac is covered under that document.

Meanwhile, we remind you that, both in Spain and in the rest of the European Union, the warranty period covers the first two years from the date of purchase, regardless of the brand of the product, and whether or not you have purchased the AppleCare from Apple.
