/>has been getting pounded by the Chinese press lately for its
warranty policies service and not talking to the press whenever
they want a statement (welcome to Apple news my friends). Hoping
to end the onslaught from the government-supported press, Apple
issued an apology letter to Chinese customers signed by Tim
Cook.
The letter, which was written in Chinese and posted to Apple’s
website, said that Tim Cook and the rest of the company have
been reflecting on the feedback regarding its warranty policies
and apologizes the poor communication that has made customers so
angry.
In the letter Cook states:
“We are aware that a lack of communications…led to the
perception Apple’s attitude was arrogant and that we do not care
and attach importance to consumer feedback. We express our
sincere apologies for any concerns or misunderstandings this
gave consumers.”
According to Cook’s letter, Apple has changedits warranty policy
so that a repaired iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S will be covered under
warranty for one year after it’s been repaired. Apple alsosays
it will replace any broken iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S with a new
phone rather than replacing all the parts.
China’s warranty laws require companies to issue a full one year
extension on replaced products, but Apple has only been offering
a 90-day warranty on replaced parts. Cook saysApple has pledged
to educate the company’s resellers so that warranties are
honored appropriately.
