I had a "Video Ipod." Battery fried. At the time, the cost to send it to Apple for battery replacement was the same as buying a new Ipod.

An iPhone. I use StraighTalk for my phone service (Walmart) and buy my phones from them, so this was an older (but still $200) phone.

Battery fried, went with a Samsung Android as a replacement.

DONE with Apple. Not because of Cook. Because of their products.
