Really? I remember AT&T using the "it's a computer not a phone" excuse when it came to access to certain apps at the time (
Slingbox), but don't recall Apple making that argument as justification for warranties. Apple has one year warranties for their products, and offers extended 2 year warranties for Macs, iPads, iPods, and iPhones.
What "distinct" differences would Apple have/gain by calling an iPhone a computer instead of a phone? Obviously the carriers might want to make such a distinction, since they carry more than one model/types of phones, both feature and smartphones. AT&T refused to offer insurance for the original iPhone, for example.
