Apple products issues?

[WarPig1976]

Since it's a slow news day I figured I'd ask, has anyone else been having issues with their Apple devices? In the last six months TWO ipad mini's have taken a dump on me! Lucky me, I get to spend Saturday afternoon at the Apple store which could be better spent poking my eyes with lit cigarettes. Both just burned out or something, working one minute and just turning off never to turn back on. Gotta tell ya I'm starting to get really ticked off because in March the year warranty expires and after that I'm S.O.L..

Any Techies in forum land got a line on whats going on here??

Back in business.!!!
Was advised to use a new charging cable due to the fact mine had tiny burn marks on the the gold prongs which could be shorting the battery, at least that's what the kid said.

For what it's worth, in our household, we've been using ALL Apple products, iMac, MacBook Pro, iPhones and iPads for the last 5 years. Never had any issues with them and never had any of our devices fail...

Same here Doug, that's the odd thing, never had a problem until the mini. I will say Apple stands behind their product, both times no questions asked,,just replaced it. I hope the cord is the problem,, only time will tell.
