Apple iPad battery failing?

I disagree this is a rip off. Making it non-replaceable is dumb though.
Rechargeable batteries don't have an infinite lifespan, any more than the clutch or tires on your car. Replacing degraded batteries as they age is part of the running cost.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Apple reply on their customers being so dumb and in need of the latest fad gadget from them that they will buy it anyway... and they will. Then they'll put it on the pub table in front of everyone and stroke it endlessly. Apple iPhone (iPad) people are generally tw*ts.Comment

This effectively is a free.
With the ipad there is no option for this you are forced into buying a new battery which comes in the form of a replacement ipad every year or so when the battery degrades.. what a ripoff"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Most 'gadgets' these days are manufactured to last a year at most. All the mobile phones I have bought lasted a year before some hardware problem rendered the phone useless. I presume this is because most of the consumers change their gadget after a year or so. What is the point in Apple producing a battery that lasted 10 years when their customers threw away the gadget after a year and bought the latest version ?Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment
