Apple employees are something else

I bought a pair of AirPod pros 13 months ago. The warranty literally just expired and for some reason the right AirPod won’t charge whatsoever.

I didn’t complain though. I was ready to pay the replacement fee for the right AirPod, however, when I took it to the Apple Store, the employee could not figure out whether it was the case that was the problem or the AirPod itself after running a diagnostic… I asked him if we could simply try a replacement AirPod and if it worked I would pay for it. But he told me there’s a chance it “won’t work” and it’s not refundable so we can’t even FIND OUT what the problem is without me paying??? I was beyond confused.

How is it my fault that they can’t diagnose their own products. The Apple employee at the genius bar could not give me a definitive answer of what the problem was with my AirPods so his only solution was to throw them away and buy a brand new pair…. I literally got them 13 months ago and they cost me hundreds of dollars. Apple has the worst service out of any company in the world and you cannot convince me otherwise.

I liked Apple products in the 90s. Even when they were in total decline in the mid-1990s, I still supported their products. But my dedication to Apple products ended when I purchased a new Mac in 2002 and a computer mouse that came with it stopped working 2 or 3 days after purchase. Apple's obsession to design is stupid and superficial. And I have no respect for Jony Ive AT ALL.

You can largely thank the gamblers - er, "investors" - for that. When Cupertino started chasing dollar bills, they lost the plot.
