Apple is notorious for its secrecy and the length it will go in order to prevent leaks about its products. But fewer people know that the secrecy extends all the way down to its Apple Store retail staff, too. Every salesperson in a blue Apple T-shirt signs a confidentiality agreement from their first day on the job, which bans them from speaking publicly. They can't even mention it on Facebook, or take a selfie with their Apple T-shirt on.

You sure can replace batteries. A simple Google search will find you the kit and youtube will puppy walk you through the procedure. Sure it's not as simple as on some phones and will bollocks your warranty but it's doable.
My Sony experia won't let me in to change battery because it's all water sealed, unless I buy the kit and crack the seal. It ain't just apple being all precious. It's design led innovation making phones do clever shit like letting you drop them down toilets without killing the phone like you used to.

Yup, same with my Samsung and most recent Androids are as problematic as iPhones when it comes to replacing batteries. As to extra memory, I've still only used about 11% of my elderly 60Gig iPod and that's a whole week of music.

Jesus. Why the hell would you want to?
I’ve worked as an IT engineer professionally since before it was called IT.
Clearly, your office never heard of the concept of configuration control. Unless your work is nothing but fucking around with computers, that isn’t what the rest of the business world does with them. Time fucking around with employees’ computers isn’t time they spend working.

This was in the very beginning. Who had a LAN in those days? We were not a software house. You are talking twenty years down the line. My work was development. They were glory days. "In the land of the blind, one eye was king".
So I had a great and easy time. Profits were there for the taking. Plenty of people looking for this new fangled software. If you were really into computers at the very beginning you would understand Jesse.
