Steve Jobs’ Open Letter to all iPhone Customers
So it looks like Steve Jobs has realized just how badly he pissed off the people who purchased an iPhone prior to its $200 price-drop. With hopes of salvaging whatever positive PR he can, he’s issued an Open Letter to all of the people who got shafted.
I have received hundreds of emails from iPhone customers who are upset about Apple dropping the price of iPhone by $200 two months after it went on sale.
…
we have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store. Details are still being worked out and will be posted on Apple’s website next week. Stay tuned.
We want to do the right thing for our valued iPhone customers. We apologize for disappointing some of you, and we are doing our best to live up to your high expectations of Apple.
So in a nutshell, Steve has basically flipped the bird to those he shafted and has blessed them with the opportunity to save $100 on their next Apple purchase. Riiiiight…
I’ll be honest, the iPhone looks pretty badass, I just didn’t think it was worth the initial asking price nor do I think it’s worth $400. Seeing as how the iPhone is still “new”, not an open-source platform, and without any real competition, there is no way in hell I’d go near it with a ten-foot pole. To me, Apple products have always been over-hyped and just not worth their asking price.
