Nach mehreren Fällen in Frankreich nahm der iPhone-Hersteller jetzt Stellung. Jedes der Geräte sei durch äußere Einwirkung zu Schaden gekommen, sagt Apple. Die Batterie sei nicht schuld.

Baterije nisu krive. Do ovoga je doslo zbog spoljasnjih uticaja.
Apple zvanicni stav.

Ivan Dimkovic: Pitam se kakav li je to spoljasni uticaj ako ti telefon eksplodira dok telefoniras?

Ivan Dimkovic: To bi bio vrlo verovatno prvi firmware koji je zapalio telefon

Bogati, to bi moglo da se koristi onda kao super ideja za malware

zdr: 
''nemoj da kupujes taj fensi shit'' - odmah pocinju oni pogledi - aaa vidi ga sto mu je krivo jer mogu da priustim sebi nesto lepo i vredno...
To mi se vec dva puta desilo i izgleda da ne vredi pricati. Iako sam davao argumente zasto ima mnogo boljih resenja, ljudi kao da ne zele da slusaju!
Jednostavno - njima se bas to svidja!

Ivan Dimkovic: Dakle, 11 slucajeva u Francuskoj, a danas novi slucaj i u Belgiji... koliko jos slucajeva treba da se desi da Apple prestane da prica o "izolovanim incidentima" - izgleda nekom treba da izgore m00da...

Mitrović Srđan: Iako sam postovalac Apple proizvoda moram reci da je i mom drugu skoro explodirao iPod i to pod nogama
dok je spavao :)

Nedeljko: Nije bitno koliko je m00da izgorelo, već kome su izgorela. Kada izgore direktoru Apple-a, problem će biti rešen.

Izgleda da se kinezi ne plase... :)

Apple to explain why its phones explode

All part of the user experience

A TOP FRUIT from Apple has an appointment with France's consumer affairs minister to explain why its gear keeps on exploding.

According to Reuters, French consumer affairs minister Herve Novelli will meet with the commercial director of Apple France to discuss the problem after the DGCCRF, the consumer affairs and antifraud directorate, sought an explanation of the incidents.

The meeting follows about a dozen complaints in France over Iphones and Ipods that cracked or exploded. In one case it was reported that an exploding Apple toy injured a security guard's eye.

The meeting will be amusing because Apple's official line is that there is nothing wrong. True the gear does explode sometimes, but these are isolated incidents and only happen to isolated people, in isolated places, and there is no need for any action at all. If Steve Jobs says that Apple's little machines are perfect then anyone who is injured by them is therefore deluded. QED?

Apple has officially said it was aware of the media reports and was studying them, but quite how long it takes to read a newspaper article was not explained.

Apple in Blighty has dealt with the matter adequately by refusing to deal with moaning customers unless they sign a gagging order requiring them never to talk about it even after they are dead.

Unusually for the French, there appears to be no sign of surrender on the matter. A spokesman said that Novelli will "stress the responsibility held by companies regarding general security requirements when they sell equipment to consumers", which is something Apple does not seem to have ever bothered about.

This is the closest thing to the French government slapping Steve Jobs vigorously on both cheeks with a large fish and is usually seen as a precursor to a court case.

Apple's tame US press has not mentioned the meeting, but if they do we think they will probably be using the phrase "cheese eating surrrender monkeys" and blathering about having bailed out the French with glorious US technology and hordes of corn fed cannon fodder 65 years ago. µ

Apple blames users for exploding devices

Can't be the gadgets

APPLE HAS COME OUT with a novel excuse for why its Ipods and Iphones have a nasty habit of cracking or exploding. Apparently it is all the users' fault.

According to its latest statement about its cracking and exploding Ithings fiasco, Apple has said its devices blessed by holy Steve Jobs are perfect.

Whatever has gone wrong with them had nothing to do with cheesy batteries, cheap components or the fact that they are made in Chinese sweatshops.

Apple said it has "seen no evidence" that overheating batteries had caused screens on some of its Iphones to explode. Of course you can't see much if you have your eyes wide shut in religious faith that your product is perfect.

Apple blamed the sudden rash of exploding gear on an "external force".

This mysterious force is not God, or a rival religion, nor does it require any metaphysics to understand. An "external force" is just Apple's term for the black shirted people who believe that everything that Apple makes is wonderful. It is what other companies call their 'customers'.

According to Apple these external forces have been dropping their Iphones and this is what has been causing all the problems seen in France.

Apparently some external forces had been using their Iphones in a dangerous manner before they exploded.

Unfortunately that does not tally with some French explanations where people had not dropped their Iphones and had been using them normally.

Perhaps Apple thinks that people are supposed to frame their beautfully designed phones and those who actually make calls or listen to music while out and about are using them in a "dangerious manner".

Apple's commercial director in France, Michel Coulomb, met with the country's consumer affairs minister Herve Novelli on Friday to explain his outfit's views on external forces.

Afterwards Novelli confirmed that Apple blamed its customers.

However he said that it was too soon to apportion blame or say whether the users themselves had been responsible for the damage. He said that Apple management told him that the Iphones weren't damaged by a battery defect leading to an explosion, but that there had been a prior shock that cracked the screens.

One kind of gets the feeling that Apple has the attitude that its customers who have Iphones or Ipods that crack or explode must be somehow unworthy. µ
