Apple can try to be the exception, except most European have consumer protection agencies that will do the right thing when consumers fill a complaint.

That is how I canceled my Vodafone contract, while Vodafone was playing word games on me and refusing to accept my rights as consumer.

After filling a complaint, and getting a call from the consumer goverment agency, apparently it was all in order to cancel the contract.

Same will apply to Apple.

Similar story in Australia. Ultimately it doesn’t matter what a manufacturer says the official warranty is (for a consumer purchase), they can’t reduce the statutory rights to be less just because it’s in the warranty fine print. Though there’s also not an official list of “this device has a statutory warranty guaranteed of X years”, it’s left to be whatever is determined to be a reasonable expectation based on the price of the item, expected use, and a handful of other factors. I’ve not had to test it with an iPhone specifically, but I’d suspect it that a >$2000 device would be an easy case to make for a reasonable expectation of working beyond 2 years.
