When Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the $200 price cut on the iPhone, I could almost hear the hearts of every iPhone owner sink to the ground. Of course, that all changed when the company announced a $100 store credit as compensation. Reaction on numerous forums on the internet have been generally positive, although it’s still easy to find the odd one who still has gripes.
Apparently, these sort of things are unprecedented, at least in the technology industry. Analyst Ezra Gottheil at Technology Business Research Inc. said: “I can’t think of any [others] that have this kind of relationship with their customers. I could see a specialized automaker doing this kind of thing, a BMW, maybe.“
Honestly, price drops on technology are always inevitable, and besides, most of you walked out of the Apple store on June 29th saying that the $599 was totally worth it, so stop complaining.
