- Wooism, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here's the thing.. don't just get a new damn battery because you own one of those iPod's! There were some that had issues, they did not ALL have issues. So don't be idiots and force Apple to get you a new battery for no reason. Don't bite the hand that feeds. Don't make the company that innovates great ***** for you pay out for no reason!
- BBX25, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Apparently you people haven't heard of "Extended Warranty". I know that inevitably my iPod mini battery is going to die, so I can just return it to Best buy and they'll give me a new one no questions asked. Well worth the $20.
- scotty588, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I recieved the whole legal document and everything in the mail. Then it pointed me to that site http://www.appleipodsettlement.com and I put in all my info so I guess the case was heard and approved so I should be getting my $50 apple store gift certificate soon.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hooray.
Looks like you got busted by the "old police".

- lsutiger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I had a creative zen. Hated it. Love my iPod though.
- trongod05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remember I was at CompUSA back in 2002 buying a video card and there was a guy at the counter that was furious. His iPod batter had just died. He ended up getting so pissed that he just left it there. I am willing to bet he is even more pissed now. Of course three years later!
- jmccorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0assault... and battery?
- afinemetsfan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hmm the story is recent but the case was closed atleast 3 months ago - I already sent mine back for a new battery.
- ciphex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The date on this story is new but I recieved a letter from Apple a few months ago RE: my 3rd gen ipod. It was a battery replacement claim form. If my battery dies I can fill this thing out and send it back to Apple for free replacement. w00t.
- Jicksta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have a 3G iPod and its battery is absolute garbage. Sometimes it'll only stay charged for an hour after displaying a fully "Charged" icon, sometimes it'll die and the next morning it'll run fine.
Two questions:
1. Anyone know how to check the manufacturing date of an iPod by serial number?
2. Is there any way I can get the replacement without having my iPod's battery actually fail? - scotty588, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Go to this page. And Jicksta I think its too late now.

- MetalliMyers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0All you "old news" whores should give it a rest and use the "old news" feature.

Oh well - all good! +1 digg for you. - Daracle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My third Gen battery sucks...but I am beat cause I am a canadian
- rocketrye12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Obviously you genius's didnt know that the settlement had to be approved by the judge before it became official. dont bonk others when you dont know the facts
- Absalon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0yeah.. so instead of saying "Old" how about we do something for a change.. like click on the combo box and select "old news" and let it serve it's purpose. thank you very much this has been another complaint to all those complainers from Absalon.
- JDOG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Doesn't really cover the cost of getting the battery replaced though. This is also very OLD news! Come on guys.
- parrotscience, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Hmmm... I like how we foreign folk get to keep our crappy battery.
- IceKnight, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0i just got my creative zen :)
- digman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0OLD, but thats what apple gets
- mmph4n471c, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0How did this get pushed to the front page? This is OLD news...
- Elxx, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Bah, weak. I think we should let people have their iPods replaced with DECENT mp3 players. I suppose this is a start, though...
