No. Need more access to parts. *genuine* parts, from authorized sellers. non-authorized sellers sell fake crap that in many cases, can be dangerous, particularly chargers and batteries. they even use stock photos to fraudulently deceive buyers, and get away with it. it ain't just apple either. there is a *lot* of fake crap being sold at amazon because amazon makes it incredibly easy to do and profits greatly from it. removing scammers is a good thing. |

When a company keeps a tight reign on its products, prices never drop. no they don't, and the issue is scammers ripping people off selling fake stuff, not legitimate sellers selling genuine products. When products become widespread in terms of whom they can be bought from, prices drop. apple products are widely available at competitive prices. even costco sells them, along with walmart and many other sellers. |
