This is why I buy neither Apple nor Nintendo parts brand new wherever I can. I'd rather pay the last owner than have it go into the coffers of increasingly evil corporations.

They may be right in some cases, i.e. genuine fraud, but not when abusing law to help maintain a near monopoly.

Microsoft got done for maintaining a monopoly and browser walled garden at a time when it was the biggest company in the world.

What has changed with Apple?



One reason some people like buying Apple products new is they have a reasonable resale value. So actually buying used still helps Apple by maintaining the resale market.
