Apple Shocks Customers


Literally, Apple shocks customers. I thought that this was pretty interesting to write on because who does not own at least one item from Apple? Well, it seems to be that Apple's very own iPhone and iPods may produce a shock when it comes to their earbuds. I guess when people are listening to their iPhone or iPods in extremely dry air, they come to think that is when an Apple user is most at risk. I can not believe this famous company puts their customers in danger like that? I wonder why this problem didn't occur before. But who knows this could happen to all earbuds of different companys (and apple has stated that). I hope Apple knows how to solve this. Eventhough it is a slight shock, STILL! I don't want to randomly listen to music and bam I'm shocked. haha Good luck with Apple in the future! And now that I think of it, I did have problems with this, yet I'm not sure if it was a shock. Obviously, it didn't bother me MUCH for me to actually stop using my earbuds. But on the other hand, for some users it has gotten unbearable to use because it DID shock them so much!
"This condition is not limited to Apple hardware and static can potentially build up on almost any hardware and could be discharged using any brand of earbuds," Apple said.
