Steve Wozniak blasts Steve Jobs over iPhone price cuts
Steve Wozniak was the co-founded of Apple when they started, I watched a program about him a few months ago. The guy has so much money but has decided to teach instead of just sitting by the pool drinking cocktails – fairplay
Anyway I’m getting away from the story, Wozniak has had a pop at Steve Jobs about the way the iPhone dropped in price so soon after launch, and how refunds were handled.
“Nobody expects a product to drop that much in price in such a short time,” he said, adding that, while early adopters expected to pay more for getting a product early, the $200 drop was “too soon, too harsh”.
“Why don’t you just take my receipt and give me the money back? And of course it always comes back to Apple Store credit. So instead of getting $100 back you are getting $50 back sort of. It is very optimal to the company. I feel badly about the situation for everyone. I don’t think Apple should have even done it. Maybe a very much more gradual price reduction, $50 at first or find ways to bundle it into a savings on your account,” he said.
I kind of agree with ya Steve, I’m sure you read this blog and will answer me
