and I'll wager that you are not surprised.

I purchased my iPhone 6+ on Dec 29th, 2014 and it has been operating perfectly every since. I get about 8 hours on a charge but the charge rarely drops below 40-50% before it's bedtime and I plug it in again. It is a critical device for me because I use it to take my wife's EKGs (FDA approved Kardia device), record her blood pressure readings, and keep photos of every medical document she's generated since her heart surgery in March of 2015 and her hip surgery in July of 2015.
In anticipation of the device failing I regularly transfer my data, almost all of it photos, to my laptop and then to offline storage. 30GB worth. Since merely plugging the iPhone into a USB port does not result in a usable camera:/ connection, and none of the packages in the repository offer any usable help, I use an Apple app called FileManager, which opens a port at http://192.168.11.1:8000 on the iPhone, allowing me to browse it with my browser, and download files. Very easy.
The lawsuit? I'll wage that Apple will win because the limited warranty was not concealed from the buyer at the time of the purchase.

When it released its iPhone 7 Environmental Report a year ago, Apple wrote that it "conservatively assumes a three-year period for power use by first owners," which is "based on historical customer use data for similar products."
..
Greg Joswiak, Apple's VP of iOS, iPad, and iPhone Marketing, told Buzzfeed last month that iPhones are "the highest quality and most durable devices. We do this because it's better for the customer, for the iPhone, and for the planet."
But in court, Apple argues that it is only responsible for ensuring the iPhone lasts one year, the default warranty you get when you buy an iPhone. For comparison, if you enroll in Apple's iPhone Upgrade Program, you will be paying for your new phone for two full years. We know this because Apple is currently fighting a class-action lawsuit over the widespread premature failure of tens of thousands of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices due to a design flaw that's become known as "touch disease."
In that court case, currently being litigated in California, the plaintiffs attempted to argue that "consumers reasonably expect that smartphones will remain operable for at least two years when not subject to abuse or neglect because the overwhelming majority of smartphone users are required to sign service contracts with cellular carriers for two year periods."
