Ummm, all Lithium-Ion batteries only last 300 charge cycles before starting to break down, depending on the temp and other conditions. Sometimes it can be less, especially in a device that gets warm, such as some cell phones and other high heat items like laptops.

Guess this idiot needs to sue the guy who invented Lithium for batteries

Or do what the 200K+ Km hybrid cars do, don't abuse the battery by letting it get out of 40% to 80% charged range. You can then care less about the 300 full-deep cycles. That's the secret to keeping batteries alive a long time.

I've done that with my laptop and celphone, and I haven't had to change the batteries in 3 years, at least, and still get near new battery performance.

The average consumer does not know this and neither apple nor AT&T tell you this. Besides do you honestly believe everything corporate america tells you. Just because Apple tells you something does not mean its true. Remember Apple, as well as, the rest of corporate america is after your hard earned cash. Hence, they will tell you anything to get the green.
