Not true, there is second year of warranty that needs to be given to customer by store where device was purchased. Only difference is you will ask you for receipt. (I work in Apple authorised repair store)
As I said, the 2-year period mandated by law is not a standard warranty, isn't as comprehensive and usually has a different name because of that. Most companies know that it's not worth it to debate people about it and just offer 2-3 years. Apple doesn't at least officially, it's also not a big secret that they've denied responsibility for faults in their products in the past.
Though on average Apple most likely isn't the worst company to deal with.
