Before it happened, the battery was already at less than 30 mins fully loaded, so not very useful.<br /><br />The Apple rep was very apologetic and polite about it but the battery was out of warranty. No damage was made on the case itself. To be honest, I have no problem with this policy form Apple, it's completely reasonable that I need to buy a new battery. But it is an interesting question what they would do if this happened to a recent, built-in battery.<br /><br />There are many other reasons to complain about Apple, but not because they don't replace 5 year old batteries!RipperDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114853481032978016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644629870779379729.post-60312279477670009032012-07-27T12:53:46.171-07:002012-07-27T12:53:46.171-07:00try taking it to a different Apple representattive...try taking it to a different Apple representattive, or emailing, that one sounded like a dick.<br />Ive had nothing but great responses in the uksomefoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17487009613530062003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644629870779379729.post-88395006567374014822012-07-27T10:43:32.814-07:002012-07-27T10:43:32.814-07:00Considering Apple's long history of abusing ex...Considering Apple's long history of abusing existing customers to force them into buying the newest shiny toy they are selling I'm not surprise.<br /><br />What does surprise me is all the existing Apple customers who keep going back to the Apple altar.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14033541776237583536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644629870779379729.post-79297910166787952682012-07-27T10:31:05.752-07:002012-07-27T10:31:05.752-07:00my experience of apple is a little different, my c...my experience of apple is a little different, my computer crashed and all my downloaded files were lost. Apple looked at my purchase history and reloaded over 40gbs of lost data. <br /><br />I would send a email to head office where ever that may be. Also the assistant should have warned you about health and safety with regards to the damaged battery. Also under the EEE regulations they as the supplier have to take the battery of you and dispose of it. <br /><br />ohnostudios is right pissy attitude and bad manners are wrong.

I have to say you were lucky to have the battery live for 5 years! (Considering normal use of any Li-ion batteries live usually not longer than 3 years.)<br /><br />Yes - the sleaker and thinner the design with less 'unused' space in it, the bigger the risk is to easily harm something.Andorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280232392728060744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644629870779379729.post-66330764007790863402012-07-27T03:32:46.120-07:002012-07-27T03:32:46.120-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Govishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546122302897950113noreply@blogger.com
