Of course these are not exact numbers, did Apple ever say they are?! The point of this blog post eludes me.

  What do you mean they are not exact numbers? 2204 does seem to imply 4 significant digits.

  The author is saying the the numbers were rounded when based in another unit. for instance 136,036 lbs reported from apple is converted from the rounded 59,000 kg. The 59,000 kg comes off more as a rounded number than 136,036 lbs.

    and my point was that those rounded numbers (in another unit) were just that rounded numbers, I didn't see anything amusing about it.

      The correct conversion of 1 metric ton into pounds is 2000 pounds, not 2204 pounds. It's amusing because Apple did it wrong.

        No that's a us ton converted to pounds. A metric tonne to pounds is 1:2.204.
