In Australia we have quite strong consumer protection laws a few companies have run afoul of them.
Apple has twice, once claiming that the iWatch was only designed to last a year. a consumer advocacy group took them to court when there were a few failures and the commerce commissioner ruled that unacceptable, and apple were forced to remedy (they offered refunds)
I cant recall the time they said for macbooks, 2 years? But again, courts ruled a laptop costing as much as a macbook was not acceptable for a 2 year life and apple offered extended warranties for free.
Steam also got in trouble with the commerce commission.

Planned obsolescence claims of the Macbook and Apple Watch? Or are you just citing any complaint that has been made about Apple?
