I am in Australia. Apple have just yesterday replaced my iphone X with a remanufactured one (I was lucky because the stores have just closed for 2 weeks due to coronavirus). the battery was swollen and had pushed the screen out. The phone was two years and three months old. It had previously had the screen replaced through apple care - I dropped it. When they gave me the new phone the also advised me that it was covered by the Apple standard 12 month warranty and also an additional 12 month statutory warranty through Australian consumer law. Apple honour this effectively as a 2 year apple warranty.
In the past Apple has provided excellent backup service. I took another phone in for battery replacement a few months ago. (It was a 6S plus, over 3 years old). The phone was working when I took it in, but the battery life was only a few hours. They wanted, I think, about 30 dollars for the replacement; I agreed, but when they fired it up with the new battery it had some problems and wouldn’t reboot. Their response? New phone, including the 2 year warranty mentioned above.
These phone were bought at an apple store, and have never had third party repairs. I used to baulk at the prices apple charge, but having experienced first hand retail service levels that I have never had anywhere else I can’t understand some of the experiences described in this forum.
