    Just keep in mind that Apple's customers wind up paying for this crap. Think about that the next time you want to complain about Apple’s prices.
    No they don’t. This is the same if the customer gets scammed out of cash, check, walmart gift card, Bitcoin. The customer is getting scammed which is horrible. Apple actually has many safeguards in place for the consumer here. 

    If you buy Apple Store gift cards in the store they can and will refuse the sale if it seems out of line (multiple gift cards of hundreds of dollars each). They even have very detailed information on their site about these scams. 


    People need to not blame Apple on this one. It’s the scammers who are at fault and the ones getting hurt are the ones that unfortunately fall for the deceit. 
    You misunderstand my comment. I’m talking about the money Apple will spend defending itself against this lawsuit and the millions it will pay out should it lose the case. Apple customers WILL indeed pay for it in the price they pay for Apple products.
    Ah. Sorry about that. Insert my
    comment elsewhere where appropriate. Thanks for clarifying.

  • Publix rolling out out contactless Apple Pay at Supermarkets amid COVID-19

    Finally! I kept having managers there tell me it was never coming because it cost Publix too much. That is bull since it’s the CC company that eats the extra .15% in fees.

    Working in the pharmaceutical industry he knows how to generate income.
    Horrible... just like Google... pharma agenda going into tech companies.

    Pharma industry makes money by keeping people alive & sick, dependent on their products.

    Great move, Apple. 

    This is a massive disappointment. 
    I don’t think you read the article. While Smoley’s last job was at Astra he has much more experience as a CIO elsewhere and degrees in computer science from Clemson. He is anything but a big pharm exec strolling into Apple.

  • Judge certifies class in lawsuit over refurbished AppleCare replacements

    fruitstandninjafruitstandninja
    Those products aren’t inferior. This has come up time and time again and it’s just a money grab. 

    I’ve never had an issue with any replaced product by Apple. I get that I am one person and can’t speak for the millions of customers but this one doesn’t feel right.
