Situation happened to the writer:
I, Mema, returned a damaged iPhone 3gs to Apple Inc. in Houston Galleina mall on 2013 – the original cost of the iPhone when I brought it was approximately $ 712.3 “in Qatar”. Apple follows take and return strategy, so that iPhone was completely damaged and I returned it to them. What they did is that they make me pay approximately $135 for exchanging the phone with new phone, knowing that the so-called “new phone” is originally an exchanged one that was fixed and polished in order to show that it is new, but it isn’t. How much is the expected revenue of doing this per year? Is it one of the reasons that people thought that apple is a cute company by doing this, but yet apple is bending their economy?!
? Politics of replacement
? Why Microsoft brought Nokia?
$ 7.2 billion bid
? High demand on apple iPhones’ vs. low demand on Nokia’s “while it is cheaper”.
