Engadget has a posting, basically, the discovery of Apple Battery Replacement Policy as it relates to the iPad. In a nutshell, if you have an iPad with a dud of a battery, and it won’t hold a charge. Call Apple, they’ll ship you a new iPad for $100. Done, and Done. And frankly, I don’t get how people are going from unit replacement to “they are replacing my $800 device which apparently costs $100.” Now, I understand that some people are business challenged, but this makes no logical sense. They aren’t sending you a new unit and you get to keep the one you have. They are swapping one unit for another, and in all cases, unless the unit has been crushed; they will recertify the parts and perform cost recovery. I’m sure some people will take advantage of that by treating their units like garbage and then expecting a clean exchange. Other people are already complaining that “what if I’ve customized it?” Now, that last one is a good question. I’d like that one answered because I put ZAGG skins on my devices so they don’t get munched by keys, or a bit of dirt on a table and someone decides to slide it one way or another. I’d have to pull that skin off which isn’t an easy thing to do without some misshapen mass ending up in a blob on my desk. Plus, my Green Lantern sticker will look really cool on an iPad.
Here is the battery return policy on the Apple website.
