New iBooks and Apple Store

    The new 800Mhz replaces the previous 700Mhz as the low end iBook. You probably have a combo drive in your 800, well the new 800 only comes with a CD-ROM (as well as a few other changes to make it the low end).

    I call bullshit. Someone please moderate this misleading post down.

    Apple's sales policies are here. The only policy even remotely resembling what you said is stated:

    Should Apple reduce its price on any shipped product within 10 calendar days of shipment, you may contact Apple Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775 to request a refund or credit of the difference between the price you were charged and the current selling price. To receive the refund or credit you must contact Apple within 14 business days of shipment.

    You cannot exchange an item for a just-released newer version, ever. You may exchange one for the same item or refund within 10 business days, provided you didn't open the box. If you did open the box, there's a 10% fee. So the only circumstances under which one could do what you say are:

    • You send it back for a refund within 10 business days of receipt (not 30)
    • Only if the item was unopened
    • You then initiate a new order for the new version, and get stuck in the back of the queue for shipment (which can take weeks for just announced products)

    Otherwise, tough crap! That's the way it is when purchasing technology. It may well be obsolete by the time you get it!
