If it works for you, great. It just doesn't work for me.
Perhaps it was the funky battery that wasn't so friendly to
replace that turned me off, or the proprietary nature of the
hardware. Hard to say.

bull****.

Nothing I wrote is bull****. Apples non friendly battery
replacement issues with media players isn't a secret.

yes it was, because all it takes is a screwdriver and/or a spudger
to replace a battery.

It can be a bit more involved, but... why let facts get in your way
at this point?

it's also something that is not likely to be needed in the life of
the product.

You seem to be a bit more than out of touch with reality.

and it's not just apple who has internal batteries.

Didn't say it was just Apple.

internal batteries means devices can be made smaller and thinner,
far more reliable, as well as have a larger battery with longer
run time than it otherwise would have had, all things users *want*
and benefit from every single day.

Until the battery pack dies, for whatever reason. While the rest of
the device still works as intended, pending the power source was
still good.

You continue to claim I hate Apple, but, provide no actual
evidence to support the claim. While I wouldn't purchase any of
their products, I do have friends/family who have, so I have had
the pleasure/misfortune of having to deal with those devices;
which is what I base my personal opinions of them on.

you bash apple for doing exactly the same things other companies
do, even fabricating reasons.

Facts are bashing now? fabricating reasons? Care to cite one?

Oh jeeze, another mac fanboy?

comments like that is why.

So you assumed I hate Apple because of that?


plus, the battery will outlast the device anyway. non-issue.

I'm glad you think batteries are perfect and when it won't charge
anymore, the rest of the device must be useless, but, that's not
necessarily the case.

straw man.

There's no strawman. In fact, you agreed with my sarcastic comment in
your post:

i didn't say the batteries are perfect. i said they'll outlast the
device, and they do.

Except when they don't. The device may have no other issues, other
than some age acquired on it by the time the battery fails. That
doesn't mean the device is useless, it means it has a battery that
shouldn't be difficult to replace. Why toss the device in the trash
if you could easily replace the battery? Apples bottom line, is why.

They don't want you fixing it, they'd prefer to sell you another one.
If you fix what you have instead, they may/may not make another pile
of cash off of you.

and on the off chance they keep it *and* the battery needs to be
replaced (which it might not), it takes a couple of minutes to
swap. not a big deal at all.

A couple of minutes eh? In some small cases, maybe, and, that's a big
maybe. Most of the time, it's going to take you a couple of minutes
to gain access to the old battery so you can remove it. And, that's
being kind by assuming you're very fast with hand tools and don't
make mistakes which could harm the device due to increased speed
attempting to gain access to the battery.

another fabricated issue.

No, it isn't. Despite your weak attempt to paint it as one.
Search engines are your friend btw. Easy to find many complaints
concerning the battery issue and approx how long it'll take you to
take one of these devices apart, replace the battery and re-assemble
said device. A couple of minutes? I don't think so, in most cases.
