It is approved in Spain the extension of the mandatory guarantee for products purchased by consumers, from two years to three, and this obviously includes Apple products.
Apple will have to offer a three-year guarantee in Spain on all the products it sells in our country, like the rest of the manufacturers, as approved by the Council of Ministers today. The new consumer regulations are thus ready for publication in the BOE, where the date on which it will come into force will be indicated. In addition to this three-year warranty, other modifications are included such as the extension to 10 years of the period during which manufacturers must have parts to repair their devices.

The contracting of “free” digital services is also regulated for the first time, those in which they offer you a service to change your personal data, such as social networks, music, etc. The durability of a product is also defined as an objective criterion.. If the durability is not the one agreed in the purchase contract, the customer may choose between the repair or the replacement thereof.
Apple and the rest of the manufacturers will have to comply with the new regulations from the moment it enters into force, we do not know if it is retroactive or from that date. This change in regulation is part of a proposal from the European Union, so it could be that other countries of the Union also extend the mandatory warranty period by manufacturers. Good news for consumers.
