They are actually packed in storage containers and every time we get an urge to buy an Apple product we take out the container and remind ourselves not to be that stupid again.
However I am glad to hear Apple has finally solved of their quality problems and have started supporting their customers.
You must have been in hibernation when all the fiasco started with failing iPods...etc...Apple has a horrible reputation in the first few years of selling iPods.

Bleeding edge Apple products almost always have issues because of hardware(bad nvidia chips, Taiwanese capacitors etc...) or industrial design(the cracks on the cube case).However I am glad to hear Apple has finally solved of their quality problems and have started supporting their customers.

Typically later, stable versions of Apple products are quite reliable. This really isn't different from any other company and apple's customer support is usually quite good, although you might have to be persistent. Dealing with humans is nice too.
Er, no. I have a first generation iPod 5gb. It still works fine, though the battery life is getting short. I have a replacement battery I’ll put in it when it finally dies.
I’ve been buying Apple products for two decades now, and like most people I have not experienced this so called “quality lapse”.
