If you are losing your hair, you know that the process doesn't simply affect the way you look; it can also affect the way you feel about yourself.

This is really frustating to know that something I bought 1 month ago for 599 now is selling for 399. Have APPLE forgotten about the big line and long waiting time and the risk involved in getting the iphone for the first time. I believe that this is a fraud act from APPLE to all the consumers who are the early adopters of iPhone. APPLE should not only refund the $200 but also apologize to all the early adopters of iPhone. If they don’t do that we the all unsatisfied iphone people out there can file a case against APPLE.

Jeez Louise I bought the 4 gig and hey I am a 54 year old father of two who is relatively hip. I mean like I have about 300 tunes on my I Phone but hey…….. If I get my 100 Jobs Bucks and there is a 4 gig phone for say 299.00 and Apple will let me redeem my Jobs Bucks on the phone then hey you clowns .. I get a 4 gig phone for 199.00 Wow that is a better deal than Mens Wearhouse ” I gurantee it “

All these years as a loyal Apple supporter. Friends asked me why I didn’t wait for the price to drop when I bought the Iphone. I told them that Apple doesn’t drop their prices. I feel like an idiot and I don’t want a store credit. I’m not buying any more overpriced Apple products.

No crybaby here. As I said in my first comment, my long years as an early adopter of technology has tempered me to these sudden price changes. It comes with the territory. You play…you pay, literally.

My reason for chronicling early adopter outrage is because I support my readers. I don't want to come off sounding all unicorns and rainbows here, but I give a shit (excuse my bluntness) for the people who visit my blog, particularly loyal readers. Needless to say when my inbox begins flooding with angry email (directed at Apple) and I see familiar names in the comment threads voicing frustration, you better believe I'll take up their cause even if it isn't my own.

Now, in no way do I claim to be the catalyst that compelled his majesty, Steve Jobs, to make amends with first generation users - that was primarily a fiscal decision to appease Wall Street and analysts. However, based on site traffic, a good many hits originate from Apple.com, so more than one person at Apple frequents this site.

Bottom line: I rarely moderate comments, and you guys are absolutely free to speak your mind, even if it is against one another. But I take this matter very seriously, for or against Apple’s policies.

Either way, thanks for commenting. I appreciate you guys.

As Paul says, it is indeed rich to watch all these show-offs who waited in lines like geeks to buy the iPhone, turning into crybabies. Call the waaaaaambulance. How about rearranging your lives a bit and becoming a little more skeptical of the consumer electronic business instead of brainlessly participating like Pavlov dogs. You people got what you all deserve for being so unquestioningly materialistic. Aw, boo hoo hoo.

I cannot believe all the cry-babies blabbing their sob stories over Apple lowering the price of the I-Phone. Did I buy one at $599? No way. Will I buy one now? Probably. And when I do, I’m going to laugh and jump for joy and rub it in the faces of all you idiots who ran out, bought the phone on the day it was available, and bragged about how you were the first to have the latest and greatest. Its the price you pay to have the newest stuff before anyone else. Apple should have never even considered apologizing for lowering the price of the phone. I can’t even believe they are giving refunds. You people are lucky to be given anything at all and yet its still not enough. Grow up and get over it.

Yes, it's f@#ked-up to have a price reduction of $200 in two months, however, that is the price you have to pay for being an early buyer in new technology. I'm pretty sure you knew the price was going to drop in the future; weather the price drops in 2 months or 14 months, the fact is you still $200 out of pocket. Of course it would be better if it wasn't in 2 months but the end result is the same. I hope you do realize this is the 1st generation of IPhone, and when you purchased it, you were the guinea pigs to see how this 1st generation works. I guess you will be pissed off if Apple comes out with a new generation next week....hey, that comes with the territory and I hope you realize it could very well happen. You need to stop whinning and suck it up (I'm sure you thought the IPhone was worth it when you purchased it), you knew this from the beginning ($200 out of pocket now or a year later still $200), I think all the fuss is not about the $200, it's about you having the exclusive of new technology for two months vice a year...that's what it's all about, you are pissed off because the guy next to you may very well be using the same technology for less of the cost, forget about the $200, it would had felt better to have the exclusive technology for year vice only 2 months.

If you learned your lesson good for you, and as far as you becoming a dissatisfy Apple customer, I do not think Apple would even care too much (they already got you for two years), the truth is 6 or 12 months down the road people won't remember this episode (you probably will) and as soon as they come with something new, there will be new suckers willing to pay the high price. Let's not go too far, even after this incident I bet you Apple will sell the new IPod touch like crazy (and yes there will be new suckers for this product too), and with the new IPhone price before the holidays they will make a killing. It's nice you'll get $100 back now, but, I hope you learned your lesson and stop whinning.
