Apple has been caught selling used iPad 2 at full retail price. What got them caught up is that they duplicated the serial # and MEID # from iPad2 that other people already had. So now Apple have to recall all the iPads that were cloned and supposedly be brand new but are used back to ship a replacements out.

Otherwise it sounds like you are repeating some bs you've heard out of spite at apple and their success.

Apple is the highest valued company surpassing Exxon taking number one. Its hard for me to believe that they would do such a small thing, risking their reputation (which is what got them where they are now) on such nonsense. If this did happen, I bet it was some manager or someone at a local level trying to double back profits, but not corporate. I just don't see that happening.

Apple confirmed to AllThingsD today that it has recalled a very small number of Verizon iPad 2 models after the products were inadvertently shipped with identical electronic serial numbers.

The numbers, officially known as mobile equipment identifiers (MEIDs), are important in the activation of devices that use Verizon's cellular network and are designed to be unique to the individual device.


"Duplicate MEID numbers were flashed onto an extremely small number of iPad 2 units for the Verizon 3G network," an Apple representative said today.

Although most of the small number of devices involved were still in the process of hitting the market, a few had already found their way into customers' hands.

Word of the issue had cropped up...

I work for VZW and we have been having a number of iPad that could not be activated because it show another acct on them but really their are 2 devices with the same MEID. We have been in contact with Apple on this problem and more info has been coming to light on this. If it was a link I could show I would. But I bet all of you that this info will link out soon.

ROFLXZ. Sheep ?

Look, apple makes Okay quality products that appeal to the masses. Their build quality is not Great, and its not bad. The company is trying to make money selling its products just like any other company. People get pissed becuase they pay big money for their devices, and they either break, or perform on par with something that costs $1000 less. Apple is trying to make money, and they are doing it. Yes, they overcharge for all their products, but people still buy them. People just expect ultra quality when they pay the high buck, and apple is not able to deliver.
