Well, it is not perfect system. Scale of Apple is such that these actions are probably just calculated risk for them. It is probably cheaper for them to absorb these than improve r&d and production and pay in delaying product launch. And it seems the market is quite inflexible - most people seem to absolutely have to buy it even if it breaks if you look the wrong way at it. Normally repeated class actions should discourage customers, but Apple seems immune to it. Though I would like to see honest numbers of how many units are affected with which fault, then compare to competition. Maybe it is just the case that Apple customers are louder with their demands because the loss was more financially painful to them.
