Before dropping $199 (Target) on new APPg2, I searched the web and found reference to a static problem reportedly with APPg1, and how to get them serviced.
I chatted with Apple, they had me go through the SN, firmware version, reset to factory settings, making sure iP was compatible, iOS updated ...... all good.
I was told I could send them back to Apple for repair. Nice, save $199! Boom.
Then I was told it would be $252.50 to have them serviced. Uhhm, really? Out of warranty they said. Seems that if there is a known issue, it should be handled in or out of warranty I said.
Anyone else have this static problem and what was the resolution? Could I have done more? Did I let them off too easy? 🤷♂️
