Is that all about. Needed to buy a new cable for charging up. Must have been 20 people working there with a similar number of customers. Curiously, bar the required blue top part of their "uniform", all seemed to be dressed as clowns. Multi coloured footwear, long wooly hats, stripy trousers, natty dread/afros etc abound, theyre nothing if not zany. Went to the counter at the end of the shop to pay. "Oh no, you dont pay here, this is the 'Genius Bar'". I kid you fkin not. Genius Bar? Have a day off. "You can pay my colleague 'Coco' over there in the learning zone'.
A proper exercise in marketing b.ollox if you ask me. £15 for the cable too, when it finally breaks down I shall be getting a cheapo tablet from another supplier.

you might but the overwhelming majority won't apple has a cult following and while other have made huge strides catching up their products are still leading edge in the market and they charge customers for the privilege it is what it is if you want their products |

You can get cheaper cables from ebay - I got one for my daughters ipod for a couple of quid. I assume you can get them for ipads too.

I went into the city centre a few months ago. Very few shoppers in any of the shops
But the Apple store was packed out. They must be doing something right. I am no tablet expert and generally you like what you know but much preferred my 4 year old iPad to a new Samsung galaxy. I buy stuff like cables on line - not ebay but Amazon where you can read the reviews for the items. A fraction of the cost and time. |

Just ordered one from amazon for 2.79. Hopefully i can take this fifteen quid one back. I am normally pretty tight regards shopping around for stuff, but ive managed to get myself mugged off there.

they dont have tills or ques its unorthodox but thats the point Jobs was an ar se imo its all product placement and overcharging on perception of value |

Agree with you on the whole marketing boll0x, but be careful with buying dodgy chargers. There are some things you shouldn't skimp on

Took the cable back, £15 back on the card no questions asked. Amazon one finally arrived in the week, used it to charge this morning, went out and returned 4.5 hours later. 25pc charged. Ffs, would be 100pc or close with the apple cable.

Don't skimp on a charging cable, it's not nice paying a high price but cheap charging cables are dangerous.

According to The Times last week there is growing evidence that Apple slow down their devices prior to the next one's release.
A study into google searches found spikes in owner's frustrations just before the release of a new one, which isnt the case with any other brand of product. Apple were asked to comment but they refused. |
