iPhone Price Drop Angers Devoted iPhone Users
After only two months since it’s release, Apple has decided to slash the price of the iPhone by $200! The decision came amidst terribly poor iPhone sales since it’s initial release and the lack of sales since forth. Apple’s aggressive advertising campaign has been mediocre and word-of-mouth advertising has been filled with phrases such as, “buggy video support,” “no MP3 ringtone support,” “lack of games,” “absolutely no third-party application support allowed,” and “one in ten iPhone shipped defective.”
Regarding the price-drop, forum users are pissed. “I just bought the fucking phone last month and this month, it’s $200 less! Bullshit! No place around town would honor retroactive price drops, so now I look like a fucking idiot.”
Jeremy Ball said, “I am a totally dedicated Apple fan so I made sure to buy the iPhone the day it was released. Now I am treated to a ridiculous $200 price drop only two months after my purchase. What the hell?”
Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ response was, “First, I am sure that we are making the correct decision to lower the price of the 8GB iPhone from $599 to $399. There is always change and improvement, and there is always someone who bought a product before a particular cutoff date and misses the new price or the new operating system or the new whatever. This is life in the technology lane.”
I think I will stick with RIM’s Blackberry.
