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.
