Think about this for a moment. let's say that a vendor, Apple in this case, agreed to service your iPad but it is a one day turnaround.
Under what circumstances would you give them your iPad without backing up all of your data first? Under what circumstances would you trust them with anything sensitive?
When I take my MacBook Pro in for service they make me sign a consent form acknowledging that I can lose all of my data even if they're just replacing a broken key cap. Given that Apple provide iTunes and Time Machine, there's really no excuse for not having everything synced and backed up. The trust issue is something else, of course.
- gcheong 17y agoYes, I was thinking of the relative ease with which you can reset an iPod (and presumably an iPad) to factory defaults and the restore from backup vs. a MacBook, and since the iPad you get back is not the one you send in, it seems like a logical precaution to take, but "equally important" was probably not the best way to put it.
