These kinds of lawsuits piss me off too. FWIW, like I said, my cell phone (my first) has lasted 3 years now. Does the battery perform "as well" as it did 3 years ago? No. Only one time did I notice a significant drop in performance (and that was just for one day. I can not imagine that Apple would ship a product with a battery technology that could doom its reputation. I think Apple is a fantastic company (as far as stock goes) but I do not like the volatility that goes with things like a partnership like the one with AT&T Yes Joe, I should have done some googling myself.

Had he bought at the best possible time ($117.50 on June 13), he would have realized a 22% return as of today. About the battery. Well that class action suit pissed me off enough that I'm responding as a full post: <a href='http://joemaller.com/2007/07/28/iphone-battery-nonsense-round-2/' rel="nofollow">iPhone battery nonsense, round 2</a> Pat, even if your wife’s uncle had bought AAPL at the worst possible time in the month before the iPhone launch ($125.09 on June 18), he’d have still cleared a solid 15% return as of today, even with the markets currently in freefall.

My own cell phone is now 3 years old, and I have not yet had to replace either it or the battery (phew). http://blogs.business2.com/apple/2007/07/iphone-class-ac.html Apparently you can only charge the battery about 300 times before having to PAY THEM to professionally replace it.

My wife's uncle was seriously contemplating purchasing Apple stock, simply based on the iPhone buzz surrounding the launch weekend. I advised him against it for the mere reason that Apple stock is now permanently welded to that of AT&T Wireless' performance. The fact that they activated only 60% of what was sold is a signal of something bad. I feel somewhat vindicated now.
