As a family, we have had three Galaxy Tabs break over the years, but all of the four IPads in the house are refusing to break and continue to work faultlessly.

Can someone please tell me where I go to bleat like a baby and have a total fairy fit???

 

Trading standards , when its bricked

 

Sweatshops and marketing campaigns make the best products, all the smart people know that.

 

3) No

4) Yes


and if you're aiming to prove this wouldn't impact me, that's about as far away from the point as possible.

 

Well, whoever is making the cheap shoddy ****, is being definitely Being ripped off then.

 

pimmo2000's house


Or jonc's, if pimmo is out crusading for something that doesn't affect him in the slightest

 

Nothing like defending Apple by attacking someone else for having an opinion eh ..

 

Nothing like being attacked for defending Apple, nothing at all.

 

I'm sure whatever you said was perfectly balanced.

 

Wow, Pimmo got something right. Give him a cracker.

 

That is it, my elder 2 kids have had enough of apple-down to me not paying. In the past 2 years my kids have had 5 iphones, that is the number of, not model 5. All have been replaced (at my f**king expense) due to poor battery performance, random lockups and or cracked screen. Well last night my kid came down stairs and said his iphone 6 slipped off his bed and, you guessed it, smashed the screen. 18 inch fall onto wood, jesus

Bag of sh!te apple build! Never again will I be paying to repair apple junk.

 

Ha! Tough luck. Bugger Apple eh! Why haven't they invented everlasting battery and unbreakable glass, what utter *******s.

 

What you don't believe that it has happened? I can post photos of one I took of last year and this iphone 6 if you like?

 

I totally believe that glass can be smashed and batteries don't last forever, you it seems don't. Can't wait to hear about your magic replacements.

 

The problem is the last phone I cracked a screen on was my RaZR V3. All of my phone have gone the distance, never broken, despite literally hundred of drops. I have never seen so many screen fails, but only from apple. My lad says a good proportion of his friend's iphones have cracked screens. The unibody design made out of aluminium does nothing for shock protection.

 

There's an (apparently) little known but highly effective way to avoid this.


Its called a "phone case" works really well at protecting the phone. Effective ones can be had from about £6.99

 

I'm not "defending" Apple, nor am I "attacking" you.


Hol asked where to go to bleat like a baby and have a total fairy fit. I merely drew the conclusion from your opening post that your house would be a suitable place, given the tone of that post and your somewhat sensationalist thread title.


Its called "banter" pimmo. you might want to lighten up a bit

 

The last phone I cracked a screen on was a Nokia 6130. I've owned an iPhone since 07 and an iPad since 11 the iPad now has a cracked screen as my mother dropped it on tiles, the battery is however fine.

Make your kids pay for the screen and I bet they'll last longer.

 

I wouldn't be shelling out that sort wedge for kids phones I'm afraid

id get em an lg g4 , in fact that's what id gone for if didn't have this 6s

 

Fail. He needs magic glass.

 

I'm a huge fan of banter, Apple fanboys just get under my skin.

I don't use the word often, but it's pathetic.. oops.

 

Posting this so Pimmo's curious and to point out that he posted this, it wasn't a response to a Fanboy. Id suggest that if Fanboys wind you up you shouldn't post Fanboy bait.

“This was designed to be a factory test and was not intended to affect customers. Customers who paid for an out-of-warranty replacement of their device based on this issue should contact AppleCare about a reimbursement.

Boll@cks, they tried it on and were caught

 

Hohoho


Shareholders won't be happy

 

Whether they accidentally-on-purpose left that code in there or really did just forget, this sure as hell proves it was just a piece of code and didn't have to be there.

 

Still sensible to err on the side of caution. The people who paid got a good deal, new fully working phone without dodgy components for nothing, good work Apple.

 

Remind me again, how many times was it I asked you for a detailed technical explanation on why the code had to be there?

Still waiting for that reply.

 

No they didn't. How can you put a price on valuable photos or messages which have a special meaning to the owner being erased?

It like having your car stolen, abused by the thief. When it is returned most people don't want that car, it is tainted. It is not the car, it is the memories it invokes.
