You honestly believe anyone reads TOS? unless of course you work for the company. Regardless, apple should be proud of the fact that one of their electronic devices lay at the bottom of the lake for 4 days and was still recoverable without a penny spent!

I take it you are the kinda guy that sits at his desk all day. And priceless data to me would be pictures of my son. Yes, I would have bought another $800 iPhone over those 6 pictures had I damaged the phone while trying to recover the IMPORTANT data. But I DID recover my data AND saved money at the same time. My OTHER important data is stored on my phone (to be portable) but that data is accessible anywhere at anytime on a secure server. PRICELESS!

We're not talking about 'anyone'. you are the subject. Do you think that the TOU is not for you, that you are an exception for some unfathomable reason?

No need to explain, I know all I need to know.

Have a good one.
