Don't you have a credit card? If you technically won't have enough money on Sept 30 but will Oct 15 then just use a credit card because you will have the money to pay the balance before the end of the grace period following the end of your billing period.
Because the cost of manufacturing such a precise and innovative rubber costs more than the profit Apple receives from the iPhone?
Personally, I think this is why they announced the date, so more people who think alike would purchase the iPhone before the end of September, which means more profit sooner!
You're totally right! Apple is cutting it close with the profitability of their products, they are having terrible revenue and profit, the ipad and new iphone didn't help the situation either :|. Those $0.10 rubber "bumpers" made in China are really going to cut into their 3.25 billion in profit!
Not as priceless as a $3,000 cheeto on eBay.
And they don't make revenue selling over priced products to begin with? Come on, we all know Apple makes more than enough profit margin on their stuff. Giving away free cases won't break the bank. If they are going to sell a mostly glass surfaced cell phone, they should include a case with the purchase. They went from metal to plastic and now glass, the device is getting so fragile that you'd think Apple would include an Otterbox Defender case for crying out loud.
