[...] The 3G reception has been noticeably spotty on my iPhone. But I still hold out hope that the reception issue will be solved through a software fix deployed in an upcoming iPhone OS update. This is how my Apple TV which was dropping its WiFi connection got repaired. [...]

Hehe, thanks…the killer was that I knew what they were doing, I've opened up the same model iMac before, removed all of the parts, and put it back together. Took me the better part of a day, but still…it took them over a month!

To buy something new, then live with its problems…and then, be without it for (at least) a month longer than I should be, and get non-responses when I ask Apple what they're doing with the iMac…well, I guess that shakes your faith a bit.

And yet, I still sound the same way about recommending it to people – it's a shame, if people ask me what Mac they should buy, and I know the answer is an iMac, I just can't recommend it to them. :-/

Funny you word your comment that way, because that's exactly how I've described the Apple TV to several people in the past month – it works great except for the wireless dropping out, which I'm pretty sure is an Apple bug, but I'm not positive.

Sorry about those iMacs…

Good analysis on how Apple handles things - don't they realize that if they don't acknowledge fault in their products, other people will still do so?

Like, I'm sure if someone asked you about the AppleTV, you'd mention your wireless issue. It would be a lot more assuring if you knew Apple was working on a fix, then to just shrug your shoulders and say that you're a happy customer other than...that one issue.

I've gone through three new iMacs, due to things like logic board issues. I've been happy with the product otherwise, but it would have been easier on me if I knew that the first one was due to the video card. Less troubleshooting for me, less wait time for me, and less of a hassle for myself and the guys at the Genius Bar.
