Apple revises warranty policies in France, Germany and Belgium in response to EU law

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/10/img7333.jpg Apple revised its warranty policy in Italy last year after being hit with a €900,000 fine](Italian anti-trust body fines Apple for misleading customers on product guarantees) for not complying with an EU-mandated two-year term, and it looks like those changes are now starting to spread further throughout Europe. The company has today revised the terms of its warranties in France, Germany and Belgium, specifying that customers are entitled to repairs and replacements of their Apple products for a full two years after purchase, and not just one as previously stated. No word yet on when the rest of the EU will see those changes, but it would now seem to be just a matter of time before other countries get the new terms as well.
