The Evolution of the iPod... and its Faults

Aug. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Technology has never moved faster than it does today, and usually ahead of the fast paced and incredibly competitive game are Californian giants Apple with their iPods, iPhones and iMac collections. Along with the new technology, as proven with the recent launch of the iPhone 4, comes the backlash of faults.

iPod Surgery, the UKs leading iPod repair service,  has been on the Apple train for as far back as one can remember the white brick-like iPod with 6 buttons, known to some as the iPod 3rd Generation. iPod 3rd Generation repairs included headphone jack problems, battery life, cracked screens and a lack of click wheel function, something which Apple later worked on when they released the iPod touch.

Following the large iPod 4th Generation, along came the iPod mini, smaller, more compact...more faults. Many iPod Surgery customers not only required iPod screen repairs, but case replacements, screen replacements and the pesky click wheel function. iPod mini was soon replaced with the slimmer, sleeker iPod nano, which had all the elements of its bigger sibling the iPod photo; colour screen and smoother click wheel, whilst retaining its miniature presence.

iPod was soon around to its 5th Generation iPod, which came with excellent video quality and a whole new batch of iPod repairs. Battery life drained quickly for video users, the alternatively coloured black or white case required replacement and let’s not forget, a faulty click wheel function. Two iPod nano models followed the release of high quality videos on iTunes and iPod nano repair requests came in thick and fast. The newer, smaller shaped 3rd Generation iPod nano offered users a smoother menu experience, though still held all the click wheel faults its predecessors were notorious for.

Two big releases later, following the ‘iPod Classic’ 6th Generation launch came hope for all those who had suffered at the hands of a faulty click wheel. The iPod touch: entirely touch screen with a multi-way view for users, the revolutionary technology offered a wide screen experience for users. Along with the wide screen came the cracked screen and iPod touch screen repairs; luckily there were no click wheel faults, but the touch screen function became a regular repair at the iPod Surgery office.

As the iPod touch went through two generations of touch screen functions, Apple decided to launch the most popular, innovative and sought after mobile phone, the iPhone. Basically the iPod touch with phone functions and applications galore, the iPhone bought with it more iPhone screen repairs and headphone jack alterations.

The iPod Surgery team predict a whole new range of screen repairs and LCD faults following the launch of the iPad, so watch this space. Though Apple still haven’t perfected the iTechnology, users and I.T. experts alike wait in anticipation to see what Steve Job’s latest  brainchild can offer consumers. If your iPhone or iPod is in need of repair, the experts at iPod surgery can assess the problems, and even offer a same day delivery service for those who can’t live without their Apple a day.
