Non existent Apple warranty

I worked in Saudi Arabia and bought 2 IPhone 6 for my two daughters in Riyadh. I bought it in KSA as South Africa did not have the 64 GB phones. I bought it in November 2014 and the one Apple 6 had a problem. It just went dead - I took it back to the dealer in KSA and he 'reloaded' the software. It worked for all of 2 weeks and then we contacted Apple America and South Africa. They confirmed that it was a genuine Apple I6 but would not touch it - I had to take it back to Saudi Arabia. The dealer in Saudi Arabia tells me that Apple has a world wide warranty. What a load of *******. Apple has no intention of honouring one of their lemons. I now have a IPhone that cost me over R10K and no Apple warranty! Anybody out there had the same wonderful non Apple service? Apple SUCKS! Samsung here I come - they cannot be as bad as Apple!
