I want my $200 back
September 6th, 2007 : Austin SmithSo Apple announced a $200 rollback on iPhone prices…. TWO DAYS after my return policy expired. I am so livid; more than I’ve ever been at a technology company (even Microsoft). I pay $599 for an iPhone a couple weeks ago, and then they announce a 33% reduction in price. I won’t say I’ll never buy anything from Apple again, because I *certainly* will. No doubt. Their stuff is the best, the one, the only… which makes this a million times worse for me. Please Apple, don’t let us, your die hard fans and best evangelists start to hate you… send us gift cards, iTunes songs… anything. If you dropped the price $20 a month for 10 months, fine. But this, this is purely a slap in the face.
UPDATE: I feel slightly better after learning that I’ll get a $100 credit to the Apple Store. I mean, yeah, I’d rather have cash, and I’d rather get all $200 back than just $100 of it. But it’s better than nothing.
