Ok, I’m writing again but I noticed that the news has pointed out Apple’s limitations on forms of payment for the iPhone.  They limit two phones per customer.  Ok, that is acceptable but they will NOT accept cash.  Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t it legal tender in the United States?  Perhaps if one would have to show ID when making a purchase with cash would be appropriate but the lack of acceptance?

What would happen if sixteen year old Timmy saved his money from his summer job and wanted to spend it on an iPhone?  Young Timmy doubtfully has a credit card or a checking account these days.  Apple: “No, Timmy, you can’t buy and iPhone with your hard earned cash.”   Timmy’s dad is stuck too because he bought one for Timmy’s mom and himself.  Timmy’s mom is unable to because she is at the limits of her credit card.  Poor Timmy.

I guess I can never buy another iPhone since I bought one for my wife and me.  When I brought it up to my wife, she just laughed and said: “I can still buy two of them - haha!”
