Those times look a little exaggerated to me. My understanding is that it will be up to the magistrate to decide what is a reasonable life expectancy of a device

  Yes, a magistrate decides. The times listed already have a set precedent. What goes into deciding reasonableness usually involves: * Cost of product vs average income of average household * Reliability advertised * Average income of the targeted audience * Audience reliance upon the product As a quick example, an iPhone sells for about $1400, which is about 2% of the average income, and is a daily use item. The device breaking causes disruption to the consumer, and has already cost a somewhat sizeable part of their income. They're entitled to the time necessary to offset such a purchase, and interest rates and insurance rates are used as the guide here. Both of which use 4.8 years for 2%.
