If it makes you feel any better (or like Apple any more), the Dell battery recall has a 20 business day turn-around for their batteries.
That's 4 weeks. That's the *minimum* time Apple is quoting. It's actually 4-6 weeks, maybe longer. That's what they're saying.
Here's to hoping they subscribe to the theory of "underpromise and overdeliver".
Yes, it is a pain in the butt to be without a battery for that long. No one is forcing you to go without, though. You can risk it if you want. Apple doesn't make the batteries. Neither does Dell. They are *all* waiting on Sony.
I can't risk it. Sure, no one is "forcing* me. However, Apple has made it clear: if I use it, it's at my own risk. Those with families will understand.
