If you felt a bit snubbed after reading up on just how much loot you’d be paying out if and / or when your dear iPhone does break, you’re not alone by a long shot. Reportedly, New York’s Consumer Protection Board “issued a letter to Apple’s CEO Monday asking for the iPhone to be a little more consumer-friendly,” noting that the $79 charged to replace the battery, $29 “loaner fee” for using a temporary handset, and the ten-percent restocking fee were all asking too much. Moreover, the CPB suggested that “consumers should be able to replace the battery themselves,” which admittedly seems to be a (somewhat) common belief. Granted, not all of these requests are exactly rational, but more importantly, we highly doubt his Steveness is gonna go change up price schemes to appease a few disgruntled board members, amiright?
