How can Apple get away with this?
-
Apple's $100 iPhone credit won't buy iTunes music[^] Not that I've purchased I phone and nor that this doesn't really concern me directly but if it were Microsoft, media would've been all over it with some anti-trust lawsuit! - Malhar
And because I've got hacked iPhone with no AT&T number, I can't get the rebate. Those bastards! How dare they not give me $100 I spent fair and square!

If the rebate is from Apple then why do they care whose service you're using? As long as you purchased their product you should be entitled to the rebate. I can't imagine how many people would be pissed with this. - Malhar
It is APPLE STORE credits. APPLE STORE.
"When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, `Who is destroying the world?' You are."

Obviously Apple have to maintain their relationship with AT&T. AT&T would not like hacked iPhones getting $100 rebates. AT&T are pissed off enough with Apple for allowing the iPhone to be hacked so easily. So Apple must have consulted with AT&T on this rebate and AT&T wanted it this way. And Apple end up paying less in the end because they know that owners of hacked iPhones have less of a leg to stand on in complaints. We aren't exactly going to phone Apple and say "I hacked my iPhone, how do I get my $100?" It isn't illegal but it isn't exactly kosher either. Anyone pissed off about this has a very immature understanding of life. They paid the money, they shouldn't expect money back.
