If only Apple....

I do agree with locking the Apple ID down to a phone for three months. Even one would be good. Scalpers need to be stopped.

Why? Because you have to wait to get yours. If I get a X and can double my money selling it. I’m gonna sell it. Plain and simple.

Yeah, that’s exactly why he is suggesting what he is suggesting...

So basically limit who can buy the phone to those with cash upfront and prevent people buying multiple for friends or gifts or any other reason....

Stupid idea. Shouldn’t ever be implemented because it’s discrimination.

First paragraph good. Second paragraph bad.

This would reduce sales and demand, great idea for money hungry Apple.

Really? You too now with the silly disclaimer?

• Allowed only 1 iPhone X per person (no matter if you’re buying outright or carrier locked)
• Locked the iPhone X to the person’s Apple ID for 3 months so no one else can use the phone other than the person who bought it (still returnable within 14 days of delivery/pickup)
• Made it ‘pay full amount’ only (no instalments/iUP)

Half of the shortage issues of iPhone X would be immediately get sorted, because this would mean more people would have a chance of getting one. No scalping, no hoarding, etc. Almost every single person pre ordering it on 27/10 would get one on 03/11!

This strategy, if used during any kind of Apple pre order, would literally solve half the supply/demand issue, and later when there’s good supply, Apple can offer other avenues of getting the product.

What prison do you run?

Right after I stopped using mine.

IUP is a great source of continual revenue + a way to hook users on iPhones and they realize that.

You’d have to read up on posts before linked to this to understand why I put it in.

Actually I was able to get a Launch day preorder this year and did as well with the 7 and 6s. But I remember when the 6 can out it was horrible. There were tons of articles pointing out how a certain group of people were having their elderly parents wait in line who really didnt even know what they were buying just to sell these phones in their home country. This is when Apple had more staggered releases.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. People often follow me.

However, the reason I was using it for a while was that I had just come back from a temp ban and was making a point.
