Apple Stores refuse cash iPhone buyers
We already knew that Apple has decided to limit the number of iPhones an individual can buy in a single transaction - down from five to two - but its emerged that they’ve also decided that your cash just isn’t good enough. Several would-be iPhone owners were turned away from Apple Store cash desks when they tried to pay for their handsets in cash; after a quick call around, it was confirmed that this wasn’t just the odd anomoly but now official policy.
It’s believed that this is a further move by Apple to reduce the number of iPhones that are resold and/or unlocked, a predictable move when you consider the recent news that AT&T pays Cupertino a massive $18 per month for the duration of each iPhone’s two-year contract.
