Until now , you could not purchase an iPad with cash . alternatively you had to swipe a credit card and make it easy for Apple to ensure that you ’re obeying the two - iPads - per - person limit . matter changed though , because of one woman .
Diane Campbell .
Campbell saved up the money to purchase one of Apple ’s latest offer but was turned out because she wanted to pay in immediate payment . In theory , such a payment would make it more difficult for Apple to prevent iPads from being purchase only for the sake of resale :
“ Mr. Jobs , give a sister a break , ” say Campbell . “ I ’m not going to go trade my iPad . ”
And Mr. Jobs did give her a break according toABC :
As of today , anyone can give for an iPad with cash as long as they place up their Apple account at the store . orchard apple tree accounts are needed for the iPad anyway , so that is not putting anyone out .
There was also an account that “ grey marketplace ” resale were n’t the real reason for the no - cash insurance policy , but rather that Apple simply wanted to check that that iPads were equally distribute among stores to meet need .
Now , not only was Apple sales policy interchange for everyone and explicate , but Campbell also received a spare iPad for remind Apple of how much more money it could make by actually accepting cash . [ ABC ]
