    It was done at a local repair shop. By June 2015 is was out of warranty, I bought it in 2012 (iPad 2 - and it cost £329!). It would've cost a small fortune to have Apple repair it. In fact, it would've been better to just replace it with a newer model. I think approved refurbished iPad Minis and iPad 3 (or whatever they called it) were not much more than the Apple quote. So I just put it away and forgot all about it.
    Understood. Official repairs cost a fortune indeed!
    Well I hope it keeps working for a long long time


  2. Running with earpods/earphones/headphones already was unconvenient and uncomfortable enough... Now it's gonna be a nightmare!
  3. No, I know.
    I just think it's not "courageous", rather a damn rip-off to make you pay $160 for earphones. What if the new ipod is like that?

    Everything Apple does is hailed as "revolutionary" by their fans. Don't get me wrong I like Apple products but sometimes its just OTT.

    I think they reached stagnation with their iphones. Apart from "being able now to drop the iphone in the toilet and will still work", there was nothing really new. But hey, it has speakers now, so you can be that jerk in the park with One Republic blasting from the iphone.
  6. Didn't it have speakers before?
    (serious question, never owned one)
  7. I think it did but now it has bigger speakers thanks to them getting rid of the headphone jack.
  8. "stereo speakers for the first time", that's what I read
  9. Second speaker is the ear piece. It seems the space saved by the headphone jack being removed hasn't really been used for anything.
