Apple Offers Early Adopters $100 Credit
Sep 6, 2007, 2:21 PM by (staff)
In an open letter posted on Apple's website, Steve Jobs has announced the company will offer early iPhone adopters a store credit to offset yesterday's drop in price. Buyers who paid full price and are not eligible for price protection will receive $100 in credit at Apple's online store. Details will be announced next week. Although carriers, often drop the price of high-end phones after a few months of sales, the suddenness and steep drop of yesterday's price cut took many owners by surprise, creating a wide-spread negative reaction.

for all those that were idiots, and now are feeling the sting of their stupidity? this is EXACTLY why Jobs shoulda just shrugged; then again, he's attempting to sell a TON of these things, so a few mill back to dumb people will give others hopes that he'll do it again. 🙄
idiots.
Otherwise there'd be none the next time they launch a new product, and it would land with a thud. 😲
