Just an idiot that's part of a large corporation wrongly trying to enforce a policy that doesn't apply (and is probably not his to enforce). It is clearly not Apple's true policy, as the woman in question was eventually able to purchase her iPad online.
Regardless of the calculus behind the employee's decision, I can't help but wonder if this story would be on the frontpage if it was anyone but Apple.
- kevinpet 14y agoHow does the policy not apply? Is Apple being irrational, or is Apple making their best effort to thread the needle between stupid laws?
- pdeuchler 14y agoBecause the women were U.S. citizens, rendering any law about foreign exports (and consequently foreign nationals) moot
- TwiztidK 14y agoIt's similar to how Apple takes most of the flack for human rights violations at Foxconn when many other companies (including Acer, Intel, HP, Dell, Sony, Toshiba, etc) have their products manufactured by Foxconn as well.
