Re: Bit missleading

I'm unaware that SquareTrade warrants against damage caused by the owner. I thought, like most warranties it only provides repairs for defects in workmanship, making these numbers not misleading at all.

Excellent point here. From squaretrade....

Our standard warranty covers mechanical and electrical failures that occur during normal use. You get 100% Parts & Labor coverage with zero deductibles. Drops and spills are covered if you purchase Accidental Damage from Handling (only available on some new, store-bought items - deductible applies).

Further digging reveals that they don't cover for accidental damage on the Iphone.

So while Armour's point is a good one, it wouldn't apply here since Squaretrade only covers the workmanship of the unit.

Re: Bit missleading

I'm confused. (nothing new though) If the statistics for a dropped BlackBerry or Treo were counted, as people send them in for repairs due to the ADH terms, wouldn't this cause more units to be counted from being dropped?

There would be greater numbers for a BlackBerry or Treo device, as any damaged unit from being dropped, thrown, flung, or catapulted would be counted while the iPhones are only counted if a manufacturer's defect is found.
