Not mine, and my sons, and my wife's. A total of six devices over the years. We have a fortune invested in junked Ipods and Ipads. A total of six devices over the years. We have a fortune invested in junked Ipods and Ipads. Lets see — on average $300 per x 6 = $1800.
Our Ipad was obsoleted by Apple and no more OS updates for us. Screw you customer. So sorry! Solution: “but you can buy new one.” Ya, right.
We are not hard on our ipods and subsequent devices have not given us the same problems that the Ipods did. Partly because we can remove the cover and replace the battery. What a concept! A person cannot replace an Ipad/Ipod battery without brain surgery or paying someone to do the brain surgery. Yes, I investigated this.
As far as returning my 6 devices to Apple, I will investigate this. But what a PAIN IN THE REAR. If it were designed correctly in the first place, I wouldn't have to do this. But that is the idea, right? — planned obsolescence? My ipod dies, spend another $300 and buy a new one. The fool is the person who does this. But not me.
Any chance I can get a portion of my $1800 refunded. Lemme guess. Not a chance!
Who said anything about returning your devices to Apple. . . or that you cannot replace their batteries or that it was expensive. It's not. Only you seem to think it is. I know people who will do it for under $25. That's not expensive. . . and they are easily found on the Internet. . . as are instructions for replacing iPod and iPad batteries as a do-it-yourself project.
You chose to "junk" your iPad when you could have sold it to finance an upgrade. They were eminently salable. . . and still operated with their original iOS version. YOU decided they were obsolete when they still worked.
Frankly, Dhs, it has been my experience that people who claim to use products from Apple know how to spell the names of the products, especially when they claim to have used them for years. You still don't know how to spell iPad and iPod. That makes me doubt your story from the get go. That's red flag indicating Anti-Apple troll. . . Apple users don't spell the names of the products wrong, they just don't. And they don't criticize them with the typical talking points of the Android community. You do.
Where are all the Android devices that are so easily upgraded from their original Android versions? Oh, they don't exist. Their manufacturers don't supply the upgrade path. That's even the case for the vast majority of the Android tablets.
