    Sounds like a typical Apple issue. For the amount of profit they make you’d figure they’d invest in better cables by now.

    Hopefully enough people will be impacted so as to cause a world wide repair programme. Apple won’t do the right thing here without being forced into it.
    Typical? Really?

    No. This is highly unusual. 

    Apple devices are famous for their long life and durability. 

    Typically you buy a new Mac because you want to, not because you have to. 

    Either you've not been buying Apple devices for long, or you've just been incredibly lucky!

    I had the well known issue with the weak back-light flex cable on my MacBook Pro. I'm pretty sure that one got the fun name of "flexgate". I had a similar issue with my 2004 PowerBook G4 (yep, I've been buying Apple products for decades). My 2010 iMac had to have a replacement LVDS cable, apparently they get over-warm and eventually fail.

    Seriously, just do a quick google session and you'll find a myriad of issues with Apple and cheap arse cables.

  • iPhone 16 Pro Max beats all comers in battery life test

    The latest Samsung S24 Ultra easily smashes the latest iPhones on battery life. It’s not even close. Check out the Mrwhosetheboss video comparing all the iPhones on battery life with the Samsung randomly chucked in.

    These are certainly top tier, but have a long way to go to get the crown.

  • Samsung Galaxy Ultra Watch copies everything except Apple's durability and customer servic...

    Last week the power button on my Apple TV remote fell out. There does not appear to be any way to push it back in and have it stay there. I’m a week out of warranty too.

    If you search for power button falling out of Apple TV remote you’ll find hundreds of posts of people complaining of the same issue, so not an isolated incident.

    Which brings me back to this article. A single complaint of an issue, with no way of ascertaining if the user caused the fault, should not an article make. 

    Perhaps you should pick up the very real issue with the Apple TV remote instead…

    Still use mine every day. Fantastic product that’s only let down by Siri.
