BATTERY LIFE iPod uses an internal lithium ion battery that cannot be easily replaced
by users. This battery lasts 500 full recharge cycles which means it
will continue to have a useful life through the equivalent of five hundred
complete discharges and recharges. According to Apple’s guidelines,
iPod battery life must be maximised. Apple Computer had introduced a
battery replacement scheme for out-of-warranty iPods, and provided users
the opportunity to extend the iPods warranty (now priced at $59). Often
note by the critics that competing standalone digital music players
often have user-serviceable batteries, and those that do not often require
nothing more than the removal of a single screw to replace the batteries.
They regard restoring iPod’s battery as unusually difficult for
a consumer device. On the other hand, batteries in more recent iPod
models have been reported by consumers to run longer than their stated
hour cycle. |
