I can only imagine Apple selling cars like they currently do their hardware. They ship a product that had multiple design defects. Then deny the claims or blame it on the users, until the users start suing them. Having people beta test your phones is one thing. But in no way do I trust a vehicle made by Apple on the roads.

You go in to the dealership because your three year old car needs repairs. They tell you its going to need a new engine and suspension and going to cost almost as much as a new car, and try to sell you on one instead of the repair. Mechanic down the street replaces your shocks and an intake manifold gasket for less than a tenth the cost of the dealer repair quote.

Do you mean like the iPhone 4 antennagate? That shit was massively overblown. Apple did jack shit to fix it and the iPhone 4 was the world's best selling phone ever (at that time).

When Apple sometimes ships a product with a design defect – like the current MacBook Pro keyboards — they usually know about it and do it consciously.

As if other manufacturers didn't have problems of similar or greater scale.
