Yeah, you carry one unit that does everything but kiss you goodnight, and I'll carry a foursome of units to do the same thing. And, when one of them fails (which electronic thingos are wont to do without warning) I'll still have 3 functional units while you get your "multifunction" device fixed (or not!). Your call!

1 4 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hey, how do you change batteries for the ipad and iphone? Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 buy a new unit - No, seriously! The iWhatever batteries are not an easy change. I'd be finding a pro to do it for me - that way, if it stops working afterwards I could demand replacement with a new one. Good luck! [Edit: I have tried replacing the battery in iPods - a couple of them - and my + has tried a couple as well. None of them were successful. Cheaper to get a new item - must be a design feature.] Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Unless it wore down, why would someone want to change a battery? Has there been outrage at ipods/ipads battery failure up until now? Link to post Share on other sites

If you bother to read my post, you'll note that I mention iPOD batteries. Yes, they DO fail, yes they ARE horrendous to replace. And, for gg's benefit, NO, I'm not looking for something to moan about, just making a statement of fact. Link to post Share on other sites
griller 9 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 The ipods of the last few years, ie, the ipod touch, are basically the iphone without the phone. JA is talking ipod classic, from last century. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Back on sort of topic, did you end up getting a 2 gg? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yes I did. Mainly because the missus wanted one. Actually it's not that exciting. Certainly thinner but I have got to admit that I don't really notice much difference performance wise. Not that I'm testing it or anything. It certainly isn't a must have upgrade. Hopefully 3 will have a "retina screen" or whatever they want to call it. Link to post Share on other sites
