"As a reminder, if you are not fully satisfied, you can return your undamaged iPhone to any Apple Retail Store or the online Apple Store within 30 days of purchase for a full refund."

This is more pragmatic than bitching on the Internet (I concede a difference between investing and reporting these problems and merely bitching) or class action lawsuits[1]. Vote with your wallet, eh?

Call me crazy, but I have a sneaking suspicion Apple's not going to get a lot of returned phones. Just call me crazy.


Would there be issues with an early termination fee or the contract?


AT&T have a fee-free 30-day cancellation policy [1]. AT&T will refund any activation fees, but you're still liable for any usage fees.

If you cancel after the 30 days, there is an early termination fee of $325.00 (minus $10.00 for each completed month).

There shouldn't be. I believe most cell companies give you a 30 day window to change your mind and cancel service.

Verizon does, and I ended up taking advantage of that when I returned the Droid and switched back to the iPhone after 2 weeks. Unfortunately, because Verizon's billing department is terrible, they charged me the ETF even though they shouldn't have and I had to go talk to a CSR to get it removed.


To my knowledge, all carriers in the US have at least a 14 day 100% money back refund with no egregious loss. (Maybe lose the $30 setup fee.)
