I had no idea Apple got preferential treatment. I have never seen what I thought to be a genuine Apple product on Amazon. I assumed Apple was taking steps to prevent anyone from selling anything Apple-branded there. The fact that they're doing the opposite is just crazy to me.
I looked more closely and they don't seem to sell iPhones, which is I guess where I get the impression from. Their other items have weird prices that are different from the Apple Store, which also screamed "scam" to me. But I guess not?
- neogodless 3y agoamazon.com/apple forwards me to https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/77D9E1F7-0337-4282-9DB6-B6B8FB2DC98D https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/77D9E1F7-0337-4282-9DB6-B... The Apple storefront. Lots of macbooks and watches to buy. Oddly enough, the iPhone only shows up in searches as used/renewed items, not brand new. Is that an Amazon thing or an Apple thing?
- jrockway 3y agoYeah, I clicked that link in the article and was surprised. I had never seen it before, but I guess I just assumed given how often-counterfeited anything Apple is, that it's something I'd never look for on Ali... em... Amazon. Meanwhile, ordering something from the Apple Store is super simple (since I have many nearby), and you know that the Apple Store isn't going to be selling counterfeit Apple products.
