“ Apple says it will replace iPads with dying batteries for about $US100 ($110). Apple’s iPhone and iPad both have sealed-in batteries that owners can’t replace themselves. As it does with the iPhone, Apple says it will give people whose iPads have a “diminished ability to hold an electrical charge” an entire new unit. The service will cost $US99 plus $US6.95 in shipping charges.

Does that mean you get a new iPad for a hundred bucks?
That would have to mean that there’s a huge stockpile of reconditioned ones somewhere, right?
