Can Apple Genii easily tell water damage?

Interesting. I didn't know that.

In other words, you really have missed the point.

No I haven't. Do you really think they had a meeting about this pausing problem, and then someone piped up with 'hey I know what would be better, let's put water ingress detectors in instead!'?

They're constantly fixing any problems they can, you seem to think they deliberately leave problems in. Which is retarded.
 
You're still missing the point.

What I said was: they should fix the problems before adding stupid stuff like water detectors (before I knew that this was common practice). There was no insinuation that this was a deliberate attempt by them to be ****s. But they are still ****s, nonetheless.

The pausing problem has been around since the iPod photo, right through to the Classic 80 GB, maybe even longer, but those are the 2 models that affected me personally. This is unacceptable and I wrongly assumed that it had been fixed when I got the Classic. I don't think they deliberately leave problems in, I just think that they are too lazy to fix problems that don't affect a large number of people and/or don't give them bad press.

You're right, Apple should make devices that are incapable of failing or glitching. Please accept my humble apology for mistakenly being under the impression that manufacturing devices with 0% failure rate is impossible. I am an insufferable fool.

They should fix existing and long standing problems, especially those with obvious causes. I'm starting to suspect that you're just trolling, so I'm going to leave it here, before I descend into petty name calling. I really can't make myself any clearer.

You did at least get something right in your last post.

Stink palm.
 
I popped my ipod shuffle 3G and my sennheiser cx 300-II's in the wash this morning,was gutted when I took the washing out I didn't think they would work again but after a day on the washing line it's all good they are working fine.

And as an added bonus, they're sparkly clean and smell lemon fresh :D
 
I hate to say this, but I've just had a water damage one replaced. :D

My other half left it on top of a glass, it rang and vibrated into the glass. She handed it to me and it had a white screen with water in it, I turned it straight off and put it in the sun to dry it out but to no avail. Luckily the water sensor in the headphone socket looked fine and I guess they must have only checked that one. I didn't realise there was one you could easily check at the dock end so I didn't look there.

Anyway, I thought I'd send it off on the off chance they would replace it and they did! So I guess it depends on who looks/where the water went.
