Dear Aunt TUAW,
This isn't a scientific analysis, but I switched to the Mac in 2004 and have owned every product since without issue. Today, however, I am on my third iPad 2 because the mic keeps dying. It seems statistically unlikely to receive two consecutive iPads with defective mics.
The only reason I notice the issue is because I rely on Skype and FaceTime on my iPad. If this is a non-public but real defect then no wonder they don't want to put pressure on using the mic. Is the hardware different by chance? Design issue?
Your loving nephew,
Brian E.
Dear Brian,
The fail rat
