>Time perhaps for a mandatory 5 year warranty including battery replacement at advertised rate/costs given with the initial sales price?
In UK the mandatory/Statutory Warranty is already 6 years if you buy direct from Apple (it's still 6 years by law [CRA 2015] if you buy elsewhere but Apple will point you at the retailer as the legal onus is on seller not manufacturer).
Apple's battery replacement cost is £79 (although it's free for 2 years) .
