Comments on: Jobs Offers Consumers a “Poison Apple” http://www.writetilt.com/2007/09/08/jobs-offers-consumers-a-poison-apple/ A blog with a different slant Mon, 26 Jul 2010 16:57:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: writetilt http://www.writetilt.com/2007/09/08/jobs-offers-consumers-a-poison-apple/comment-page-1/#comment-24 writetilt Sun, 09 Sep 2007 06:29:44 +0000 http://www.writetilt.com/2007/09/08/jobs-offers-consumers-a-poison-apple/#comment-24 I agree that a new version of products are in the pipeline; however, I seriously doubt Apple has version 2.0 of the iPhone ready after only two months. I also agree that some customers will flock around the iPhone with the slashed price. Still, I think some people will hesitate on buying after witnessing the price cut debacle. I think that the price cut came way too soon. I don't deny that companies in the cell phone market slash prices of products, but I've never seen that happen so fast and for a product that's the new "Razr," the former must-have cell phone. I just see shades of Motorola in Apple by announcing price cuts and am surprised they did it two months after product release.

In the technological world, every time a product is launched, many other versions are already in the pipeline. These products have greater features and cheaper prices. Take a look around at TVs, digital cameras, DVDs and so forth. Apple is doing what it's supposed to do in the mobile domain. You can be sure that Apple will attract a helluva lot of new customers to its tent with the slashed price. I think that Apple should have announced the $100 store credit simultaneously with the product launch as a special treatment to its loyal customers. When you pay a high price for the newest product on the market, you are actually paying for the "thrill" of having a product in your hands nobody in the neighborhood has. This has a price. Just my two cents worth on the subject. Regards, Omar.- Hello:
