lol Apple. Steve Jobs better get really good at sucking my dick if he ever wants me to buy his overpriced garbage. Say NO to brand exclusivity, built in obselescence, and invasion of privacy. Say no to Apple.

I saw this video thanks to a french television programme on planned obsolescence where industrial groups create on purpose bad quality products to sell over and over again. Please join the movement thezeitgeistmovementdotcom to stop this insane litter production that ends on the toxic waste belts in Ghana, Africa. Another example in the programme : epson printer stops service due to a processor built that counts your impressions. A russian IT man created software to reset that counter and works

thumbs up for NWA

I got burned on the Ipod as well and no refund or anything.

All I am going to say is: Thank god Steve's dead!

@Dariann14 We've had three. One quit after 6 mths. Apple replaced it.  The next one quit after 2 mths. We thought it was our charger, so we replaced it. Nope, so apple replaced it 4 mths later. The next one quit after 6 weeks and this time the warranty was up and apple refused to replace it and would charge us to call them. So, apple sucks.

first of all your a hater. second of all i had the ipod classic 5th gen. and i bought it in the fourth grade then i got a ipod touch at the end of eighth grade and my ipod classic was still working perfectly and i sold it to a friend and it was still working decently even after being drop multiple times so i think apple is a very reliably company

I think this built to fail/planned obsolescence technology should be banned by law - the highest standards shd be used, it is our environment that suffers waste is dumped on 3rd world it is DISGRACEFUL behaviour by rich companies that should be held accountable. Watch The lightbulb conspiracy (free on documentary heaven/other websites, may even be on you tube). I will start a Gov petition about this - its a disgusting habit for companies in the 21st century supposedly touting green policies!

I replaced a hard drive on a power book last year. 32 screws of two different types, removing keyboard, memory, everything. Took me hours and I'm not a novice at working on electronics. My old HP laptop... hard drive replaced with three screws in five minutes. And Apple gets the awards for design?

That's not true I had mine more than 18 and it's fine

@rickymontero yea, now. Apple's products are getting harder to open.

but at least some of their older model's (5g Ipod classic) is pretty easy to open and replace the battery inside it

[rickymontero]

@PinoyPogiman U are right im sure, but not having the chance to replace them is somekind of scam... If you buy a product u should have the right to keep it working as long as you can, I see no purpose on this battery limitation other than "commercial greed" Small gadgets doesnt have to be disposable.
