I agree. I've seen a lot of abuse with warranty claims but I'm not thrilled with this.

I've received products that I'm sure have sat in a Fedex truck overnight in -20C weather. How do I know it wasn't that triggering the abuse sensor. If they implement this I wouldn't accept it to be hidden until I try to make a claim. The temperature range might be set to -20C to 45C but the component that failed might be rated at -60C to 100C. I would want to see stats on how many products had the abuse flagged but the product never failed.

I think there is a lot of opportunity for Apple to abuse the abuse sensor.
