I have received Apple satisfaction surveys before and the options are basically this:

How satisfied are you with your new iPhone?

* Insanely satisfied

* Extremely satisfied

* Very very satisfied

* Quite satisfied

* Satisfied

* Mostly satisfied

* Somewhat satisfied

* Neither satisfied or dissatisfied

* Neutral

* No opinion

* Dissatisfied

I’m exaggerating a little to make my point, but I suspect that’s more or less how they get these insanely high scores. Also I’m not sure they send the satisfaction surveys to everyone. Probably you have to have a history of purchasing Apple products.

I don’t think they are manipulating the data itself as this article seems to suggest though. I think the survey methodology itself is skewed.
