It's little know because it's not a fact. They're required to be fit for purpose and last for a "reasonable lifetime". This will differ depending on what device it is though - a TV you would probably expect to last 5 years, a cheap phone may only be expected to last one. The "reasonable lifetime" isn't clearly defined anywhere though, so it's down to a lot of arguing with the companies involved (and possibly recourse to courts) in order to make a claim after the first year.

Nope, that's nonsense. They've not fulfilled their original warranty by replacing your new phone + 1 year warranty with a refurbished phone + 30 days warranty. That's not an equitable swap, so the replacement has to have at least the same warranty period. I suppose they might have scope for modifying this if the original warranty claim was determined to be invalid (e.g. accidental damage), but this would still need agreement/notification of the change of terms.
