I qualified my statement with "out of warranty". I have had to take <12 month old devices that had defects crop up and have them repaired, but those repairs were free and did not require me to have AppleCare+. A logic board randomly dying 10 days after purchase would certainly be covered under the factory warranty.

What I wanted to convey with the extreme examples was that macbooks die more often due to QC issue or something. They have died after the first year of warranty thrice on me. Due to this it is certainly mandatory to buy applecare+ for macbooks. I have not used iphones after the 5s so can't comment on that but it seems they have less problem than Macs.
