I have bad news for you. Again, it's humans.

I have my doubts that Apple would admit enough to perform a safety recall given the issues they've had with their garbage chargers in the past. Other companies have no problems with building hardware that lasts. Apple seem to prefer their customers pay for replacements.

Before anyone says "context", I want you to think on why that doesn't scale, and fails to be learning.
