> no other PC or mobile phone manufacturer is providing warranty service (for consumer hardware) that remotely matches Apple's.

Maybe, but Apple is also among the worst companies for repairability of their hardware. If a PC (which you mention) breaks is usually only one part to be replaced (without looking at actual repairs), and any individual with necessary know-how can do it

Those are two separate issues. The claim is that you’re paying for Apple to repair or replace your goods if a problem arises, and they’re more than capable of doing that.
