Being the biggest tech company in the world means always having to say you're sorry.

This week, Apple apologized to Chinese consumers after criticism around the company's less-than-stellar warranty and repair policies frustrated the country's iPhone and iPad owners. China's media and foreign ministry accepted Apple's apology, a sure relief to Apple with China being the company's fastest-growing and second-biggest market.

But the Chinese snafu joins a long line of Apple apologies. Some were passive-agressive, like Apple's apology for iPhone 4 preorder problems, supposedly because the phone was too desired. Others are more serious, like the apology Apple had to make for letting the game "Baby Shaker" into the App Store.
