Problems with this are common, first apple never updates the kit, 2nd nimh is used in most modern AAs, some still use nicd, 3rd 3 nickel battery's is same boost age as lithiom ion which makes that a big issue.
There are probably several issues at play here. One would be liability, lithium batteries are far more dangerous than other forms, as such putting them into an AA form factor could be seen as reckless. With the AA form factor Apple has no control over usage of the batteries.
Second there are real environmental issues. People are lax in their recycling of AA batteries, in fact it isn't even required in most places. Staying with old tech keeps Apple from having to teach people to recycle properly. Beyond that recycling lithium batteries isn't all that easy when it comes to actually handling the batteries. You just can't throw a 100 AA form in a box and hope it doesn't catch fire.
Android smartphone share outside the US is more like 80%. A hyperbolic exaggeration, not a lie. Still a pretty convincing figure, though it doesn't take into account the true "smartness" of the smartphone.

Could you actually try telling the truth instead of a lie? Anything meaningful whatsoever, maybe? Something relevant to the discussion? His original point is utter nonsense. We can’t build a discussion off of nonsense.

Extrapolating from experience, all Britons are liars. What? It’s just an exaggeration.

Are you saying my 80% figure is a lie? Because I'm happy to source it.
And since no one seriously expects that you're trying to convince people that all Britons are liars (why always the nationalistic slurs?), then yes, it is just an exaggeration. One not very well founded in fact either.
You get plenty of things wrong and exaggerate all the time TS. Stop this hysterical double standard please.
I should certainly hope not. It would be a travesty if a majority couldn’t parse anything but 1:1 intent in writing like you.
Seriously? That's the line you're going to take after accusing someone of malicious deception over a little looseness with figures in making a broader point? Whatever dude.

The broader point was invalid; it wasn’t the topic of the discussion.

Then don’t talk about it.

Only time I can remember. Unless you count the thread about the UK and the EU, in which case that also doesn’t count.
…often with a negative slant?
Somehow the very use of your demonym is a negative slant? The negative slant here came from the use of my own example of a “hyperbolic exaggeration” to counter (and mirror) the foolishness (and irrelevance) of your own.
Because I can look up a boatload of evidence counter to that.
Now, the use of “limey” would not only actually be a slur (unlike what you have claimed), it would also be of a negative slant (unlike what you have claimed).
Maybe if you take all Tesla models combined they outsell all General Motors models combined and all Nissan models combined. With GM and Nissan each having only one all-electric car and Tesla having more than one, maybe Tesla's aggregate total is tops. I dunno. Guessing.
Enough with cars lugging around the weight of six large oxen in batteries though. Where's the hydrogen cells?

Not playing your fragment and snarkify game. It's not relevant to the topic and it's annoying as hell. Back to Tesla.
It would have been a dream if Apple had bought Tesla.
But it looks quite normal if Elon buys Apple or instead becomes the next president of Apple.
And maybe Cook just asked him to integrate as soon as possible the board and the senior VP pack as VP in charge of direction, innovation and future....just for a few years.
And maybe we understand better the 2 bulls reaction of Ive in 2 years.

Why the **** would Tesla put all their eggs in Cupertino when the world outside the US is 95% Android?
The current strategy makes the car iOS and Android friendly.
A company like Apple would just use that to stab Tesla the first chance they got. Google did the right thing.

Apple puts all their eggs in that basket and they seem to do just fine. In fact, they are doing better than your exalted "95%".

Why does the article assert that the Tesla is the "world's leading maker of all-electric cars?" This article says that the Nissan Leaf outsells it: http://www.hybridcars.com/volt-top-selling-plug-in-leaf-shatters-own-records-tesla-takes-third-place/

Good. You’re learning. Next step is not posting nonsense in the first place.
Talking about the topic and the topic alone, actually.
It would have been a dream if Apple had bought Tesla.
But it looks quite normal if Elon buys Apple or instead becomes the next president of Apple.
