iPhone

Are you one of those people who buy 400 iPhones and sell them for handsome profit on eBay? Well, if so, your days of iPhone business are over. Apple announced today that they are bringing back the 2 iPhone person limit back in order to allow all iPhone maniacs to get their hands on iPhone and maybe send one to their friends, but no more than that.
Also, you need to take out your credit card to purchase iPhone in a Mac store. As CNET indicates, Apple is banking on the fact that using credit cards will allow them to properly track how many iPhones were bought per credit card whereas with cash you can’t really figure who is buying how many. This is obviously good and bad for Apple. Turning down cash is not really a common practice as usually cash is accepted everywhere just like Visa. Apple is obviously trying to get iPhone on as many hands as possible to keep their viral marketing training moving forward. In addition, if I were Apple and wanted to crack down on the crackers, I would limit the number of iPhones they could get their hands on. Many of these people are cracking iPhones and selling them for $800 or more on eBay. So, this could work in Apple’s favor after all. I guess the only downside to this is the fact that I like so many other people was planning to buy 4 or 5 iPhones for my family and relatives for the holiday season, and now have to find a way to get around that!
