Apple will charge £65 to replace one lost Airpod
By Chris Baraniuk
Technology reporter
Apple should charge fanboys each time they charge up a device, easy money.

so you expect a company to replace something you lost free of charge, good luck finding one of your beloved Android manufacturers that'll do that. :brickwall

if they just connected the two with a bit of wire over the ear there wouldn't be any problems

dpb 16 December 2016 10:21 PM

i think they've realised their mistake cos otherwise theyd be charging 300 quid lol

Apple envy, I think you should just give in and get yourself some Apple action, you're more obsessed than Jack. :lol1:

Imagine that, paying half when you lose half!

He's way more of a Apple hater than I'm a fan and he doesn't even use the products. It's a waste of a life but that's how some people are, nothing to do with them and yet the old nose goes in and never comes out.

Or lose them both at the same time, don't let Apple make a mug of you by only losing half.

Quality, the penny still wont drop for devout fanboys however.

Can't see anything, maybe it needs Flash, another thing I'm glad Apple killed.

Lots of great reports regarding the Airports, once again under promising and over delivering. I'm considering buying some for Christmas, Apple store visit tomorrow.

What have airports got to do with anything, or is that where you are going to purchase your overpriced Airpods?

pmsl, love the video and so true. So you now need to carry laptop and 15 dongles.

I can't believe even you can see the irony of removing featured then selling it back at a huge cost jack.

Got me. The price seems reasonable to me, less than some but also reassuringly expensive. And did you know if you lose one Apple will only charge you half to replace it, how cool is that??

I know it's hard to see but fewer ports are the future, Google were all over it way before Apple. Looking at my current Macbook the ports are all full of dust, they were useful back in the day but they're all now redundant, except Ethernet one weekend a month for which I would gladly carry a dongle.

Thought last years edition was better :D

Jack is actually Tim Cook, I kid you not.

Hence his rambling on about the miracle that is Apple.

It says enough about him that he suggeste about a query on poor iPhone 6 coverage that 'you are holding it wrong'

Only useless iphones need to be held in a particular way, that or maybe they need a dongle full full functionality.

Apple probably makes more money from clowns buying dongles and selling licences than it does from anything else.

Whoosh

Of course you cant see anything, you are using a dumb Mac, meanwhile in the normal world everyone else is laughing at the video and particularly at fanboys.

I have an excellent content blocker on my excellent 8 year old Mac.

Miles from a MAC fan, but I don't get why this is news? if I lose anything I choose to purchase I expect to pay to replace it?

:wonder:
