This article proves a good point. Battery issues with the iPad is a very costly thing to fix. Apparently, it has been said that the cost to fixing the battery issue is expansive with a whopping $99 and $6.95 shipping fee. If you battery can not hold its charged you are asked to arrange with Apple for an exchange. At least Apple is doing the right thing and telling us up front.
What’s the point in buying a iPad (the one in all) if the batteries stink! Seems to be that Apple is trying to get its money out of the people to “experiment” on us, and then make us pay for their inability to provide a $500 phone with a decent battery.
And as the author stated, “Apple warns that replacement iPads won’t come with any of your personal information and suggests you sync your old device with iTunes to backup your data before sending it in.” Really Apple? is this the kind of reputation you really want for you new iPad?iPad TV Commercial – 2010 Oscars
