[ServicePack]

Just got my son's ipod nano today product red, got it engraved with his name. opened the box and its PINK!! And to just rub salt into the wounds apple won't take a refund due to the engraving...so 140 quid gone down the pan....i am 100% sure its PINK not red...gutted....what can i do?

Is it different from the advertised colour on Apple's website?

Post pics if it is please.

 

[scienide09]

Really? And it says product red on the box and all that. Weird.

I haven't seen one up close, but they've always looked red to me.

 

[ServicePack]

YES very different....but they wont exchange...

its a mile off the colour, the one i have is metalic pink !

Can you post a pic? The ones in the store are quite red (very nice in fact). Maybe yours is defective? If so, Apple will replace it for you (engraving and all).

 

[heatmiser]

Oh, this thread definitely needs pics. Can you take a shot of it?

maybe it has something to do with the pink ipods for breast cancer?

But I think that was just target not apple.

Maybe they have a set of pink nanos for breast cancer that they are releasing soon and got confused and sent in instead of the red one.

I have no idea.

If you bought product red and it is pink then it's a straight return, their mistake. My product red nano is bright red and so far from pink it's not even a question.

well if it is the new nano then the red does look kind of pink-ish

Maybe get a red case for it so it looks more red.

You can use MR's built-in attachment feature. When you post, scroll to the bottom until you see "Manage Attachments" and then add the pics.

thanks....just got it online....

any feedback is great and thanks so far....think i could be on a looser...might have to get him a case to stop his mates taking the pxss out of him poor lad....

Seen plenty of Product Red 3G iPod nanos and they all look like that I'm afraid. It's not the fire-engine red of the old ones but more along the lines of Cranberry or Cabernet Red.

Very subdued and mature colour compared to the last one - I much prefer it to be honest but to each their own.

But sorry to rain on your parade.

 

[ServicePack]

Thanks.....a case it is then...

i have no fight in my belly, so i will just get him a case...or give it to his sister

Thanks guys, quick turnaround, great help...it could be worse i suppose, it could be running WMP11

Looks red to me. Who cares if his friends take the piss out of him... that's what friends do.

Does he have a girlfriend? He can re-gift, and benefit from the warm gratitude he's sure to receive.

Oh wait, nevermind.

 

[GSMiller]

Wow that is definitely pink. Looks like Apple needs to fire whoever chose that shade.

Hot DAMN. The sarcasm is coming back to MR.

 

[f1]

that's how itz supposed to look like, sry ur outta luck, apple did nothing wrong

 

[mag2001]

It is a different red from the previous nano. The point is that it will help someone out being a (RED) product.

 

[synth3tik]

Apple seems to be having trouble with colors.

take the orange iPod shuffle. That thing is vodka orange juice the day after.

Yuk

i sorta like that shade... and to be honest, i'm not sure your son will mind. He'll probably be super happy to have an ipod, and pink isn't just for girls anymore, specially that shade... it's a nice sorta cranberry color. Then again, I'm someone who has two guy roommates and both of them have pink ipod minis from a few years ago. One's is magenta pink and the other is light pink so to each his own (and yes, they chose those colors themselves)

I got the product(RED) 8gb nano too. I was pretty shocked when I opened it. In daylight it does look a bit pink, but under artificial light it's red.

I got used to it though, and it isn't that far off the colour on the website except in natural light.

He may be a bit surprised at first but give him a few days.
