No, I restated that history. . . and Apple did not make those batteries, Arl, Sony made those batteries, and Sony paid for the recall, just as they did for the recall of the recall for the more then 10 times greater recall of the same series batteries they made for HP and Dell at the same time. But apparently you cannot read, or won't, or just have a severe reading comprehension problem, because I told you all that in my first post on this subject, because now you are accusing me of not knowing it. That makes you look pretty stupid, doesn't it?
And no, no Apple laptops "burst into flames" in that event. They over heated due to those Sony batteries. . . and it was a problem with the original equipment contractor SONY, not Apple, and not with Apple's design or product.
There have been a few isolated incidents of fires associated with Apple products, but no general design flaws in Apple products requiring ANY recalls due to those isolated incidents. NONE. Get your facts straight before you get on your highchair and start bawling about something you don't know anything about. . . especially claiming non-existing airplane bans.
Actually the Apple recall was for 1.1Million batteries, not 33,000
IT WAS A BIG DEAL
pictures of ibooks catching on fire were on the web already
Apple tried to ignore the problem for as long as possible, until the government forced them to take action
That is why it was a big deal in the media
Dell and HP did there voluntarily and affected way less number of machines, considering they had a way larger market share then Apple
Sorry facts get in the way of agenda
