Submission + - Applke excludes iTunes from $100 iPhone rebate
treeves writes: "Apple announced they're going to specifically exclude iTunes songs from the list of things that can be purchased using the $100 rebate credits given to early buyers of iPhones, and didn't say why they're doing it.
It is reasonable to assume that one reason is that it will force people to buy more expensive items (only a few items under a hundred dollars can be had) and that people will have to spend more than $100 in most cases, or not use all of the rebate. If they could buy songs, they could spend right up to $99.99.
Seems like another way to anger those same people you were trying to assuage by giving the rebate in the first place, no?
