Själv så kommer jag aldrig mer att köpa en produkt från Apple. Orsaken är deras användar och garantivillkor.
Min dotters iPhone 4 har precis gått sänder. Ljudet är borta och det kommer upp en liten ruta som säger att "tillbehöret är inte kompatibelt med denna telefon". Det finns inga tillbehör anslutna..
Apple vägrar ta in den som ett garantiarabete då glaset är skadat lite lite i ena hörnet. En liten flisa som gått. Det hände för 10-11 månader sedan och fungerat alldeles utmärkt tills för två veckor sedan. Apple skyller på fallskador och de sa till mig att om de tar in den så kommer de i alla fall att skylla på fallskadan......
I already commented on Apple and the way it takes care of it's customers - at least in the US (and similarly here in the UK) in the old thread.
I'll repeat what's relevant here - my old G3 iPhone. After using it for 2 1/2 years I dropped it from 6' onto a concrete sidewalk. The glass cracked but the phone still works perfectly. The battery is still very good - never run out of battery - but I don't play youtube videos all the time, nor do I play music all the time. I use it as a replacement for my macs at home when I am not home..=*^)
To replace the glass here in the UK cost 400- 500 SEK, depending who does it - you can do it yourself for about 250 SEK by buying a kit from the web.
I chose to do nothing - well, I cleaned the glass and put a screen protector on it for 15 SEK - and it served my just fine for probably 6 months - maybe more - can't remember exactly when I dropped it - until I got the 4S...
I can't comment on the situation in Sweden as I am not familiar with how things work there.
Now, perhaps this is relevant in this discussion, perhaps not..=*^):
Study finds Android handsets break more frequently than iPhone, could cost carriers $2B in repairs
http://www.appleinsider.com/article...iphone_could_cost_carriers_2b_in_repairs.html
"Cheaply assembled devices running Google's fragmented Android platform could cost telecoms billions of dollars a year in repairs, contrasting service costs for devices based on tightly controlled ecosystems like Apple's iOS.
The fragmented hardware implementation of Android, which lets manufacturers use unchecked testing methods and cheap components, causes a higher rate of repair when compared with Apple's iOS devices, according to a report released Thursday.
Citing a study by wireless service research firm WDS, Reuters reports that Android's rising smartphone marketshare has been boosted by cheap handsets hitting store shelves, some costing less than $100 or free-on-contract, but the growth may come at a cost to telecoms that have seen a spike in repairs for devices running Google's OS.
"While this price point sounds very attractive, when you look at a total cost of ownership it's a different story," said Tim Deluca-Smith, Vice President of Marketing at WDS.
The study of 600,000 technical support calls taken by WDS across Europe, North America, South Africa and Australia showed that Android device returns cost telecoms around $128 in service costs, shipping fees or replacement.''

And that's all I have to say on the subject..=*^)
