A few months ago, when my old iphone died (dropped), Apple, and an Apple reseller both lied to me and said the battery was soldered to the motherboard and the $220 part was no longer made.

Later I found out this was not true. The battery can be unscrewed from behind the motherboard, the whole thing would be about $40us.

So, anyway, I bought a bendable ipod touch as a replacement. The freaking power cord died after 30 days while I was travelling.

So when I get back to the Apple store for a new cord, these "fags" were telling me I should be polite. "Dammit man, just give me a new cord for this made in China shit."

yeah, he's definitely dead.

ps…the new cord has about 1/8th of an inch extra plastic at the crimp. So they tried to save 1/8th of an inch of plastic, and the fucking cord broke easily. Fucking cheap greedy bastards. You know, it was this new guy, whatever his name is, it was his idea to move the factory out of Sacramento California to China.
