Businessperson's Guide to Federal Warranty Law
This FTC guide explains the U.S. federal Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act framework. It notes, among other things, that businesses generally aren’t required to provide written warranties, but if they do, the Act governs how written warranties must be made and disclosed.
AppleCare+ is a type of service/extended protection that can involve written warranty or warranty-like terms, so FTC guidance on federal warranty rules could affect how Apple (or its service provider) structures disclosures, terms, and marketing of coverage. While the guide is not Apple-specific and may be more about compliance basics than a new regulation, it can still influence the wording, clarity, and enforceability of Apple’s warranty/protection communications.
First, the Act does not require any business to provide a written warranty. The Act allows businesses to determine whether to warrant their products in writing.
