Early-ish adopter?  Get your Apple iPhone refunds while they last

Apple Store“The reaction to the $200 drop in iPhone’s price has been fairly negative, particularly among those who recently purchased an iPhone… I think it’s safe to say that the price drop was certainly unexpected. As a result, many iPhone owners went hunting for refunds from either AT&T or Apple to assuage their wallets,” Justin Berka reports for Ars Technica.

“Of course, in the event of a price drop, Apple Stores will automatically refund you the difference if the price drop occurs within 14 days of the date of purchase. AT&T accepts returns within 14 days and likely has a similar pricing policy. The online Apple Store covers price drops for 10 days (instead of 14, I have no idea why this different), but I suspect they’d overlook that in this case. In any case, if you purchased an iPhone in the past two weeks, getting a refund should be no problem, no matter where you bought it,” Berka reports.

“Once you get to day 15, things get significantly more complicated and unpredictable,” Berka reports.
