This proves how stupid people are if they buy this load of bollox

Apple =  

That is petty.... Not that it is a big ticket item but potentially this would push more away from the Iphone 5 than drawing towards the new release...

I know in the I Phone 4 there are already some leads and chargers that don't work.... We bought a Belkin when OS as that is all we could get.... Charges perfectly fine but will not let sound play through the phone while charging...    

I've said this before ... but I only own the iPod from Apple. For starters, it was overpriced.  

It crashes a lot when I try to sync it to my computer.  

This has been proven to be a fault with the iPod. Not the computer.

The dial is coming off from the front of the player.  

I cannot copy my music from my iPod, only onto it. (Encryption.)

The battery life is cr*p and you can't replace the batteries yourself.  

The headphones are cr*p, and now one of them is faulty!  

The built in software/firmware cannot be replaced with anything else as Apple have encrypted it (so Rockbox won't work) which means I cannot add any additional codecs.  

For the same reason as above, I am stuck with the crappy Apple interface and the rubbish built in EQ settings. Grrrrrrr.  

Overall, a shining example of what a bag of cack Apple is and why I will never buy another one of their products in my life!
