The New 2010 iMac’s and Poor Quality Control | |
|
||
| Time: 16:10 EST/21:10 GMT | News Source: Techulous | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

I have to say as a big fan of Apple products, my view of them in the past few weeks has dropped quite a bit, not from the PR shambles of the iPhone 4, but due to the quality control of the latest iMac’s. I waited like many other customers for the latest iMac to come out, as I knew that the previous generation was reaching the end of its life. | ||

| You have your new Apple ornament and isn't that what you really wanted? |

Apple products have always been about style and quality of workmanship. They tightly control the OS and the hardware to assure a seamless experience.
If they fail (or are seen as failing) in either of these categories by the "faithful", short their stock. There are a lot of sharks in the same pond. |

Buy a PC. :-) Seriously, it ain't hard to pull out the hard disk [or add another one] with any issue. Same with the PSU. You buy from Apple, you are stuck with their hardware.
"it’s not something Apple would take a blind bit of notice of from a small range of previously loyal customers" - That's the same for every company out there. @olddog: I can agree on the style [and hype] obut of late, their QC has been sucking. Remember this past year [or was it last] where people were opening up an undamaged box to find out that the screen inside for their iMac were cracked or damaged? Seems not all but some. Now there is also talk of overheating iPads. This in addition to iPhone 4 issues and a recent report says that overall Apple churns out more vulnerabilities than Adobe, Microsoft or anyone else. |

design is not limited to how something looks. design also accounts for how well something will last in many different environments that themselves change. design also considers how things are manufactured at every level. this includes considering how sub-components are manufactured and integrated into the product.
scaling is another issue. scaling was very hard for us, and we chose much slower volumes in order to preserve quality controls - knowing that depreciation schedules would require that our systems had to function for five years, or more. I feel for Apple. I would hate to try and scale like they have had to and watch my designs go to pot. |

| To the editors - this is ActiveWin. The story is only about a Mac - publish it in ActiveMac instead of here. I get tired of all this Mac information in this forum, just because the publishers use a Mac. Please leave your personal religion behind and publish Windows related news here and Mac on the ActiveMac forum. |

ShanTheMan,
Thats been suggested so many times, over so many years. Just do what many of us do... and take whole years and not visit the site. You'll eventually forget what tasted bad and made you leave and then you'll come back and be happy again (for awhile). |
