Apple Limits Two iPhones Per Sale - No Cash Accepted

In one of the weirdest announcements I’ve ever heard, Apple decided that they are no longer taking cash for the purchase of their popular Smartphone, the iPhone… and if you’ve got the credit, you can only buy two of their handsets.

Company officials said they put these restrictions in place in order to thwart resellers and hackers.

“Customer response to the iPhone has been off the charts, and limiting iPhone sales to two per customer helps us ensure that there are enough iPhones for people who are shopping for themselves or buying a gift,” Kerris said. “We’re requiring a credit or debit card for payment to discourage unauthorized resellers.”

[There was no word on whether AT&T's retail stores had also stopped taking cash for iPhones.]

They also said that they suspected that some consumers might purchase the phone in order to
“unlock” it to be able to use it on wireless networks other than AT&T, the sole American wireless company that offers the phone.

According to Apple, they have sold 1.4 million iPhones since the product was launched on June 29, 2007.

Does this announcement put a ding in your holiday shopping plans?
