And this is why I got my droid from......

So i was a apple user for like 2 years. 1 day i called apple complained about my battery. After talking to the rep they said that the batteries that covered in a 1 year warranty. Wtf? I think that was bs and i decided to go to android. And i.am loving every bit of it.

And things like these piss me off

Yahoo!

Idk what he thinks he is but every dog has his days and right now apple may be on the top but he thinks he is untouchable but you never know what's gonna happen. Every time i hear android is going up i get soooo happy. I love android and love the community. I was gonna get the ipad but now i am gonna wait and buy the gingerbread tablet when it comes out. I am not giving my single penny to apple. Yeah that's how they treat their customers . Please comment.

I'm waiting for the few resident Apple fanboys on here to comment. These are the type of incidents that you wouldn't have had happen 10+ years ago. He wasn't as arrogant back then. But I guess SOMEBODY had to replace Bill Gates when Gates decided to step down and give money away and turn into a good guy. The evil computer company head position was begging to be filled. Just ironic it had to be by Gate's biggest critic - and that he wears black.

If the Apple folks do comment please keep the discussion civil so it does not turn into "Cider"

BTW -- I use an iMac and Mac Book Pro. :icon_ peace:

Shades of microsoft and look how that's turning out on phones now.
Maybe I'm wrong but when the future became mobile MS rested on its reputation. Hopefully Apple won't make that mistake because though I'm not a fan they did make things better for us non Apple users in not only phones but music players, music stores and portable media readers. We are not stuck with walkmans,wmp,ie,pdas, etc

Hey, I know how to keep it civil. But for the record I *do* like Apple Cider!

I'm no apple guy but I don't see that jobs our apple did anything wrong in that link. They should have to respond to every little request for info? Including the ceo personally? They are a fortune 500 company. I have s hard time getting my own boss to read my emails. She is lucky she got a response at all.

From Gawker, no copy of the emails, no idea what the questions were, and a journalism student who should probably get used to the words 'no comment'. I'll save my outrage for something worth the trouble.

Ya but that's not the way to treat your customers. He thinks well people are going to buy ipad anyways. Just look how wrong he was about android. In just few months android has practically dwarfed ios. Same is going to happen with ipad. Once gingerbread comes out ipad sales are going to take a fall. A company that don't cover the battery in a 1 year warranty is rediculous. He is famous for stuff like that.

The batter is covered in the included 1 year warranty on all the iOS devices.

The rest is pretty much irrelevant. Nobody worries about whether the CEO of Sony is a nice guy when they buy a TV. GE's CEO doesn't kiss babies to sell washing machines.

I doubt it was intentional, but the media has turned Apple into a Soap Opera. It's all about money, and on the internet money means page hits. Nothing produces page hits as reliably as emotionally charged controversy. Given the disproportionate number of technophiles and geeks on the internet it was probably inevitable that the tech industry news now has as much or more to do with personalities and idealogical causes as it does with the quality of the technology.

Personally I'm only concerned with whether my product does what I want and the quality of customer service. At this point I am reasonably satisfied with this on all my tech products, Apple, Google, and Verizon.

As far as future sales go, we'll see. The explosion of Android phones was all but inevitable. There was a huge market that wanted a smart phone but, for one reason or another, found the iPhone and/or AT&T an unacceptable solution. Android has been the answer for a lot of us. And the competition it provides for all the mobile OS companies is a win for everyone.

Getting worked up about the trivia of company CEO's is pointless. It's just a combination of media money making hype and companies (on both sides) trying to get you to buy based on emotions instead of the logic of your situation.

No sir its not included. I called th then and they said no. it does matter. The customer service rep treat you the same way a they see their ceo does. Usually I have had a great time with apple customer service when they staRted but not anymore.

Maybe I just lucky. I've had good experiences with Apple, VZW, and even AT&T. When I was working the CS folks at MS were disappointing. The Dell CS folks were fantastic!

Just my experiences.

According to their site they do. Apple - Batteries - Battery Replacement

If customer service is saying no then you at least deserve an explanation of why your device does not qualify.

My daughter swears by Apple. She overspent to buy herself a MacBook for college. She bought herself iPhones.

She has had nothing but great experiences with Apple support, both for the laptop and her phones.

However, we all hated AT&T to death, so she didn't argue (surprise!) when we switched to Verizon and I bought her a Droid1 to replace her iPhone.

Now... well... she still loves her MacBook madly but she realizes the Droid is head and shoulders above the iPhone.
