lol, you mean like the posts that randomly ask "who sent you", or the ones where personal perception is better than statistical evidence?

Are you sure about that? Unless you've been in my house, you really have nothing to base that on but assumptions (but if you must know, it's 4 PCs and 2 notebooks).
If by your logic you need to own a plethora of Apple products "to be wise in all things Apple", and you claim to own none, you really have no basis to comment on them. Like I said, you guys need to figure out which side of the fence you want to sit on.

Well, I guess you're not going to get hired as a retail consultant any time soon, either.

you see, you just proved my point that you haven't read my posts. read them again. there are five apple products in my house, as well as nine products running ms-os. and no, i have made no such assumptions, but you still haven't answered my question. thanks for dodging the battery/hardware issue. . .
if i'm wrong, then please, pray tell, explain away. . .
to be successful at retail, yes, you are correct. never would suggest otherwise.
however, to prove a point about reliability, as this thread has been discussing. . .nope.
Looks like the real reason Apple dropped Costco is starting to come out.
Costco butts heads with Omega - get's it's head handed to it on a platter
Makes sense to dump a retailer when they have no morals and make an end run around their other suppliers by buying gray market goods offshore outside of their contractual obligations.
Blah, blah, blah. For every article you could pull up on the iPhone4 battery being substandard, there's another praising it's improved performance. It all comes down to your perception of it, which is the same as you stating your opinion.........and we all know the adage about opinions.
But of course, Apple Corp are angels and do no wrong.
Do me a favour..... type "apple loses lawsuit" in google.
Oh lookey, here is one of MANY a report of Apple taking a licking. Oct 2010.... . "Apple sweats after jury awards $625 million against it"

reading your posts definitely doesn't help the image of apple fanbois in terms of their grasp on reality, or frankly, their ability to read or hold a cogent discussion.
first, the source was not mine. it was provided by another apple apologist in their attempt to prove "factually" that apples were not just marketing and an os. so you're slagging one of your brethren. maybe you guys need to decide ahead of time how to counter the poor owner "perception" of apple batteries, since it's an issue with apple owners.
second, you still haven't posited a reason that is better than mine.
Just wait till next February, when we do the Rim Playbook vs. Apple iPad thread.
Marked on my calendar - can't wait
I'd be more worried about holding the phone the right way so I don't get reception issues

Hate to break it to you but some HTC phones have the same issue.
The whole 'Antena gate' thing turned out to be a lot of media blowing it out of proportion and AT&Ts crappy network than anything. Not saying that there wasn't some signal interference depending on how you hold it but that is something that happens with other highend handsets depending on where their Antena is placed. Just because it wasn't Apple the HTC stuff went un-noticed by the popular press.

im gonna put this under _not an issue_!
Reality? You do understand what a fanboi is, don't you?
My negative perception with Apple in regard to the battery issue, is with the iPods. I've always thought it was rediculous that it was a replace by RTM, or buy new iPod at retailer, for the average consumer who's battery has expired.
Hardly a 'Green' strategy, to say the least - more like forced obsolescence of the extreme kind.
I know SFA about any issues in regard to the iPhone batteries - but the average Apple user is not generally all that tech-savvy, so for the average user to know about replacing their own battery, rather than needing an 'expert' to do do it for them, is not a plausible argument to say that this isn't another unnecessary expense on the part of the Apple consumer.
Unless of course, Applephiles are replacing their phones every year with the latest-greatest to make it a non-issue.. i guess there is a whole lot of disposable income floating out there, that i can't even fathom, if that is the case.
All i know, is i make my phones last 3 years, minimum, out of financial necessity. Would an iPhone make it that far? I have my doubts considering the reliability track records of my co-workers with their iStuff (i do load their iPods up on a routine basis for them, as they DON'T have their own computers to do so) and have seen a variety of faults and failures requiring repair and replacement that i'd consider to be a pretty high failure rate.
On the other hand, i can pull the battery out of my Samsung Galaxy in about 30 seconds, including removing the add-on hardshell case AND rubber outer case (ok i'm paranoid about shock-dropping my hand-held electronics - i'm a natural born klutz, i'll admit it.)... same deal with the Motorola's and Nokia's of my past.

My old iphone 3G has been the longest lasting phone I have ever owned. I used to have to replace my cheap dumb phone once a year or a little over that. I gave my 3G to a family friend who is using it now with no issues. I know its just a personal experience but I have never had an issue with apple batteries. I have a few ipods around the house many over 5 years old without issue. My Laptop has a sealed battery also and have never had an issue. With how far battery tech has come I am not worried about it either or I will replace it myself. Its a fair trade for better battery life per charge over the ones that come as an easily replaceable module.
