The factory warranty for Macs purchased in Australia or New Zealand will be 3 years

In the United States, the warranty that Apple offers on all its products is only one year. In recent years, it has tried to offer the same guarantee in Europe, but the European Union told it that nothing of that and by law, it is forced to offer a guarantee of all the products it sells during the two years after the date of sale.

If two years of warranty may be excessive for Apple, the case of Australia and New Zealand has wanted to delve into the wound and has had to extend the time up to 3 years, due to the changes that the law that manages the manufacturers' warranty has undergone.

Thanks to the modification of the law that protects consumers, any user who purchases a Mac both in Australia and New Zealand will see how the guarantee of the products is 3 years, without having to contract an extended warranty at any time that covers for an extra time any problem that the device presents during its normal use.

Extended warranty affects any component of the Mac, be it the screen, the battery, the RAM, the hard disk, the graphics, the motherboard, the power supply ... or any other electronic component of it.

This information has seen the light through a internal document addressed to Apple Stores from both countries and in which they are informed that as of yesterday, the warranty for all Mac products will be affected by the new law.

Presumably, this modification in the warranty period of the Mac will affect AppleCare quite significantly, at least among the users who hire it to be able to extend the warranty time of the Mac, each time they renew them.
