We reported a few months ago that some customers in
China had reportedly bought devices from stores in at full price, only to find out days later their ‘new’ gadget wasn’t so
new!
The reports centered around iPhone 4’s that had been bought at full
retail price, 4999 Yuan in
Beijing, which were later found to have been repaired weeks earlier and refurbished.
Now consumer rights activist, Wang Hai, has taken up the fight of the affected customers and is taking
Apple to
court.
Wang Hai, is hoping to receive compensation for each of the customers and also
win an additional 4999 Yuan to cover
legal expenses.
