Apple isn't immune from this sort of thing. A long time back I had an iPhone < 6 months old that bricked on me. I thought it would be a simple replacement but the Genius tech told me the moisture sensor had triggered and they couldn't do a warranty replacement. My phone had never been close to a drop of water, and it was going around the news at the time that this issue with false positives on the moisture sensor were common, but Apple wouldn't make good on it.
I quit Apple then & there-- previously I had used apple laptops, iPods, iPhones, iPads since they had first been released, but decided I wouldn't pay their premium anymore if I wasn't going to get premium service.
About two years later I got a small settlement from a class action brought against Apple over their use of faulty moisture sensors. Not enough to cover repair cost, though I didn't get it repaired, I switched to Android.
