There’s a problem.

In Australia a 12 month warranty is required. And for “expensive goods” it’s 24 months.

I’m not sure where the line is, but an iPhone certainly falls into the expensive category.

When those battery woes occurred, Apple was required to replace batteries, and they did.

It varies from state-to-state, but "Caveat Emptor" is the general rule of the land in the US.

[edit]

It's not quite "Caveat Emptor" but rather "perfect-tender" which still requires the buyer to inspect the items with "reasonable promptness"
