>The phone Kim's suing over was originally purchased from an authorized Apple seller in Vietnam in October 2020, he said. The iPhone 12 was under Apple's warranty until October 2022, he said.

Ok. This piece of information alone should have been in the first part of the article.

Two Year warranty I am assuming AppleCare+? If that is case, not fixing it seems unusual.

It may be that it’s 2 years in original country of purchase and not the us. A few countries require a multi year warranty by default.

Is that case? As far as I am aware, Globally even in UK or EU where multi year warranty are required by law, Apple still only list one year warranty [1]. And you have to explicitly tell Apple that by law they need to repair it.

They explicitly say this warranty is on top of statutory warranties.

From your own link:

> As such, the Apple One-Year Limited warranty benefits are in addition to, and not instead of, rights provided by consumer law.
