Apple is Upgrading my iPad!

And that, I will do

How will you do that? Go to the store?

Why not go to the store with your iPad and exchange it. They'll bring out the new one and you can examine it right there in front of the Apple Genius. If you find a flaw I'm sure Apple would be happy to bring out another one, and another and another.

no, vía emai

Heres the problem with the store, they have been giving me a bad attitude ever since the 3rd one and said they will not replace anymore for these kinds of issues, when i got on the phone with the person thats been helping me they said they shouldn't have done that, now i prefer to do replacements over the phone

Now, since the issue hasn't been fixed, i have given up replacing until there is solid evidence its fixed or, if they follow through, give me a iPad 3

I've never heard of an Apple Store rejecting an obviously faulty return. You also have to recognize the chances of receiving 6 faulty iPads. At some point you have to consider it might be the consumer and not the product.

I think Microsofts Xbox 360 had a ~5% failure rate, certainly much higher than Apple's iPad failure rate. So the chance of receiving 6 faulty iPads is .05^6 or .000000015625% or 1:64 million.

Faulty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't think that any iPad could in theory meet the OP's expectations for what a tablet should be.

Ok, read my original post, do any of those seem like non-issues to you?
and for $829 I expect the same quality my 20+ other apple products have. I have a iMac G3 from 99' and it still works perfectly with no repairs

I think this is the real case of what's going on here. And I alluded to this earlier.

Again, 1 in 64 million.

If I had 6 faulty iPads I would give up on the brand. I would be posting how PO'd I am, not bragging about how I'm going to get a free iPad 3.
 
OP, I had faulty iPads too.. But after my first replacement, I realized the truth to the statement... Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again, expecting different results. I agree you should get a perfect iPad for what you paid for, but it doesn't look possible. There are too many crazy stories of people here returning 13+ iPads and still not having the perfect one. Giving up becomes the best option

I have seen perfect ones on MacRumors before, and explain all the backlight bleeding problems on the apple forum, 1:64 million, no chance, this problem is not fixed, Again, I have stopped replacing, and have no intention of doing so unless there is evidence that the problem has been fixed or, if they follow through, get the iPad 3

Evidently getting an iPad 3 upgrade is the best option, if true.

My thoughts exactly.

Certainly. This has still yet to be shown. Until then...the government said I didn't have to pay taxes anymore because the traffic lights aren't always green for me.
 
Again for the 3rd time,


I will no longer be getting any replacements until there is solid proof these issues are fixed, or if they follow through, replace my iPad 2 with an iPad 3

I don't know why you think i would waste my time posting here if this was fake, when i get proof, i will post it here without giving any contact info about this person

Hours on the phone and trips not worth it this I would find too be a waste of time when their are otter things to do
 
From the OCD you've already exhibited in this thread with that many returns what makes you think you're going to be satisfied with an iPad 3 - IF - they truly give you one as yet another replacement?
 
you can bend over backwards and people will never be satisfied.

Granted my first ipad 1 had wifi issues, got replaced and its been fine since. im sure its got this blacklight bleed everyone talks about! i dont often turn it on to look at a blank screen. whats the big deal with that?
 
with your run of luck please stand next to me during the any major disasters, that way i'm guaranteed to be safe...:D
i jest, but you do seem to have inherently bad luck with these things

sometimes i wonder where the bad ones go? (iPads)
 
For the bad luck scenario, yes I have been having bad luck with these iPads, but nothing else, a lot of great things have happened recently, and I'm not the only one that has replaced 6+ times, I see tons of people exchange more then 10 times
 
I'm pretty sure they can't so much as mention a potential iPad 3 because nothing has been officially announced.

:confused::confused::confused:
 
Looking back at it, I miscalculated. Including the Wifi one, the 6 replacements and the one you currently have, that totals to 8 faulty iPads.

Chances of 8 faulty iPads: 1/25.6 Billion

For real. Seeing as how "tons" of people are returning 10+ iPads, Apple must have a horrible failure rate. I'm surprised it isn't on the news more, like the Xbox 360 or antenna-gate were. :rolleyes:

That's the only problem with (otherwise great) sites like MR. People aren't coming in talking about how great the iDevice is (which I'm fine with); they're complaining about the dozens of iPads they've been through (for ludicrous reasons in many cases), which perpetuates the desire for 'perfection' in other people and their devices. Then you have threads like these, that nothing will ever come of, that these people see, believe in, and try to replicate. It's crazy.
