Of course the price premium is not exclusively due to the warranty (probably a good chunk of it is due to import tarifs and taxes). But do we agree that increasing the warranty period costs Apple more? Do we not agree that a business will tend to increase the price of its product when the cost of its product increases?

I don't.
On the contrary, I believe they should thank us for encouraging them to make better and more durable products.
If I am spending 12 hundred euros on an electronic device, the least the manufacturer can do is give me the warranty that it won't break on its own before 2 years of usage.
Anyway, Xiaomi makes perfectly valid products at 1/3 of Apple prices.
Maybe it's not the 2-year warranty the issue here...
