Sysadmin Field Notes

In America, anyone can sue for anything

July 30, 2007

Apple is getting sued for the non-user-replaceable battery in the iPhone. This is stupid, getting sued for a design choice.

Maybe next someone will sue because it's only available in one color?

Oh, and the lawsuit is actually about disclosing this fact? Funny, my iPhone, right on the box says:

"Battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced by Apple service provider, see www.apple.com/batteries which has links to the pricing, replacement instructions, and life-details.

Just goes to show that trying to please everybody is a waste of time.
