Quote : | "Settlement Benefits
Under the terms of the proposed settlement, class members who purchased or obtained a new third-generation iPod would be eligible for a one-year limited warranty extension on that iPod to cover battery failures. If the iPod experiences or has experienced battery failure during the one-year extension period, consumers who submit a valid claim have the option of returning the iPod to Apple for a replacement or receiving a Apple Store credit in the amount of $50.00.
Class members who purchased or obtained a new first- or second-generation iPod on or before May 31, 2004 and experienced battery failure within two years of purchase would receive a $50 credit at the online or retail Apple Store or a $25 reimbursement check.
Anyone who purchased or obtained one of the first three generation iPods on or before May 31, 2004 and paid for battery-related services under Apple's Battery Replacement Program before June 3, 2005, is also eligible to receive a reimbursement check for 50 percent of the cost of the service. iPod users must submit a claim to receive compensation.
Additionally, any user who also purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan (APP) for their iPod before June 3, 2005 and used the extended service warranty to obtain a replacement battery would be entitled to a $25 reimbursement.
The program also protects all class members going forward. The proposed settlement requires that Apple maintain its Battery Replacement Program for the covered class members through September 30, 2006. Furthermore, it prevents Apple from imposing any price increases on the service (and shipping charges) for covered purchases during that term. " |

The battery costs $50, the other $49 pays for shpping a labor. And they might have been able to give more, but from the looks of it, anyone who ever bought an iPod and had it serviced can get a check. Those requirements look way too loose. 6/3/2005 3:38:43 PM |

if you would take the time to read the settlement information, you would see that they will either:
-replace your battery for free or -give you a $50 gift certificate to apple stores6/3/2005 4:12:02 PM |

^or maybe replace your ipod if it's a 3rd Gen (which is what i'm hoping for) 6/3/2005 4:22:29 PM |

If they replace the battery, they replace the iPod. Even apple doesn't service the batteries. 6/3/2005 6:11:50 PM |
