Planned obsolescence and Apple? Wow. I was just commenting about this. This is one of my frustrations with Apple. That and the battery issue. Apparently I am not the only one!
Diito for their ipads.
I feel vindicated! Hey swordmaker?
I have an old 1st Gen iPod with an actual 5GB hard drive. Still works. I use a 1st Gen iPod Touch every day as my alarm clock. My BIL uses my 1st Gen iPad every day for playing Hayday and reading iBooks. My iPhone 4S works just fine on 9.1, although I am not altogether happy about battery life. My newer iPad from May 2012 is still very nice, thank you.
What planned obsolescence? At some point in time, any computer hardware will stop working with new software. Apple may be the most conservative company around, in preserving the life of older hardware.
No sir, dhs, you were arguing that Apple did not design their products to be repair or have their batteries replaced. I kept countering your uninformed opinions with actual facts and links proving those facts. You stuck to your uninformed biased opinions. Your thick skull doesn't want facts, you want your opinion to be the only one, regardless of what the facts are. You did not want to pay a modest fee to replace the batteries when they finally conked out, wanting Apple to replace those batteries for free, years after any possible warranty had expired. You then argue that it is impossible to even replace the batteries. . . and then argued that no one can replace the batteries and asked if even Apple could do it. You simply did not know. . . but assumed it was impossible. When I told you they did, you argued they couldn't do it in the time they claimed they could do it in. You just want to argue anything to make Apple look bad.
As I pointed out in my commentary every single one of these lawsuits claiming this has been tossed out of court. They were probably brought by people like dhs12345, people who think products do not advance and are not eventually superseded by products that exceed their capabilities for being upgraded to match their abilities to equal the newer designs. They want the products they bought years ago to have the capabilities of the newer models merely with a software update and whine when they don't.
So, dhs, you are not vindicated by this bogus class action lawsuit, that like all the previous such suits will be tossed out based on the precedents already set by this and other courts. They simply do not have a case, as you do not.
