  • Get $200 Cash Back — Really

    [Read the article: Apple gives iPhone early adopters $100 in store credit]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I can't imagine anyone swooning over a $100 store credit.

    The really interesting thing is that Steve Jobs apologia doesn't mention that if you bought an iPhone in the 10 days before yesterday's price cut, Apple's policy is to give you the total price difference back. That is, if you bought the phone since August 26.

    See this link:

    But you have to move fast: You only have four days after the price cut to claim your full cash rebate — that is, until this Sunday.

    Curious that Jobs was full of contrition and self-congratulation as he issues a store credit, but fails to mention that recent buyers are entitled to real money back.
