    That’s simply not true. Apple still has the same one year limited warranty they had when iPods were released. Steve Jobs justified the higher premium because you were getting “the store in the box,” referring to the in-store troubleshooting and educational support at no extra cost.

        Steve Jobs’ name for a help desk at no marginal cost

        When did Apple have lifetime warranties? I tried to search but Wikipedia doesn’t seem to think their warranties are notable and Apple pollutes web searches with current support articles (2 years on their phones in Australia, due to local consumer law)

        Yeah that’s what they said. You’re the one who said lifetime, which was never true.
