Less than a week after a website reported about the easily scratched screens and ruined LCD screens, Apple has released a response to these issues.
Regarding the ruined LCDs, Apple has said that there indeed is a problem but it only affects less than 1/10 of 1% of the total number of iPod nanos shipped and it is not due to a design flaw. Apple will replace units that are affected with this problem.
About the easily scratched screens, Apple says that the material used in the iPod nano is the same material used in the fourth-generation iPod of which Apple received no complaints. Apple also has received very few calls regarding scratched iPod nano screens.
I guess the scratched screen reports were indeed FUD.
Story in Macworld and MacWorld UK, quoted by iPodnn and MDN.
The author of the website www.flawedmusicplayer.com has removed the original content and is happy with Apple's response. His message to his visitors?
What are you waiting for? Go buy a Nano :-)
