Apple Gives $100 Store Credit To iPhone Customers
MooRogue writes "In an open letter to all iPhone customers, Steve Jobs responds to hundreds of emails from upset iPhone customers. Apple will be giving early adopters who are not receiving rebates or any other consideration $100 store credit at the Apple store.
Details will be posted on the Apple website next week"
At $599 with a 2-year contract and no rebates, early adopters HAD to know they were paying a hefty premium. By now Apple fanboys should be so used to this Steve Jobs could've stuck his entire fist up their asses, without lube, while reaching for their wallets, and they'd be chanting "Thank you sir! May I have another?"
If you buy new gadgets on Day 1, especially from companies that charge a premium for brand, expect to get reamed.
Learning HOW to think is more important than learning WHAT to think.
Heh I knew someone would point that out, but the pricing model (imho) has always been Steve's (until Spindler and the clones about 95).

... you're just as moron.

I see the mental retards that spent small fortunes on a stupid web-surfing phone are feeling a little inadequate, but rather than looking the mirror to look at the half-wit really responsible, they like to blame those that point out the severe lack of intelligence they exhibit with their pathetic Apple groupthinking mindfucking ways.
I laugh at you, sir. You're a sad, sad human being.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
The iPhone was an overprice piece of junk in the first place.
Say what you will, but what other company figurehead in recent memory has came out and apologized for other people's willingness to spend their money?.... I wish Steve would run for the next presidential election.
As a nation we made some grave errors in judgment with regard to Iraq and weapons of mass destruction. To help correct the situation, I've hired our top scientists to put Saddam's head back on, revive him, and restore his rightful position as President of Iraq.

...if you actually think that Stevie is just a good person and that Apple didn't plan this, at minimum, weeks in advance. The RIAA has the stripper mentality. Apple has the pimp mentality - how many people can we get to suck our dicks in adoration? What can we do to make them suck harder? I know! Calculated PR moves like letters about how much we actually hate our proprietary monopolistic DRM policies and about how we really want to hook up our customers with $100 credits to buy more shiny white shit in our overpriced stores with archaic return policies! Marketing is marketing, even if it's coming from Apple. If anything, Apple's marketing is more sleazy than that of other corporations.
I'm a geek girl. Seriously.
