It's not just Apple. It's all companies. When was the last time you tried to repair your washing machine under the warranty? Good luck. And it's software too.

It's not just Apple. It's all companies. When was the last time you tried to repair your washing machine under the warranty? Good luck.
And it's software too. I can't remember the last time I installed a piece of software that wasn't filled with bugs. Some of them just glaring. Companies mantra, "Oh we'll fix that in an update". Six months down the road. Meanwhile they already have my money. This especially true with games.
It's the way we do business now. "Sell now! Report earnings now!" And worry about the rest later.
I mean who cares if out of 25 million customers 15,000 have bad monitors. Just make sure none of them write for the New York Times. :)

- Steko 14y ago"others are not charging huge amounts" This is completely false.
- damian2000 14y agoBest experience I had recently was to repair a 3 month old Lenovo laptop under warranty. At purchase I'd stumped up the $50 dollars or so for onsite service. So within a few days of the call I had an IBM technician turn up at my workplace and swap out its motherboard, no questions asked.
