In Australia we have an "expected life" provision in consumer law, where more expensive products have a higher expectation they'll keep working - a $2000 fridge should last longer than a $200 fridge for instance.

I've never seen it actually applied to Apple products, but a "reasonable person" as defined by the law would surely expect a $1,799.00AUD Macbook air to last longer than the 12 month warranty covers.

Does anyone know of such cases?
