Two years later (or probably more) my battery lasts for 5 seconds. Un*********believable. And that was just one of the things that made it not-fit-for-purpose (lack of volume, dodgy OS, crap headphones and overall fragility were others). Five hundred pounds! I was mad to buy the vain trinket and learnt an embarrasing lesson about fools and their money. I've not even mentioned Apple's policy to ignore any complaints or returns.
Yes I know I can get a new battery and even replace it myself if I cared to, but I'd rather put it in the marketing-over-content museum... or how the 21st century used up it's planet working too hard to buy useless, instantly obselete rubbish.. and then bought more! Apple for me are almost the personification of virtually all that is wrong with modern life. MC -- ModelCitizen Now what? Transporter > Naim NAP 250 > PMC OB1s.
