[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1341753"] I wasn't disputing that you got one that way. I was disputing your incorrect assertion that Apple thought they were junk and that's the reason for the promotion. By that logic, every back-to-school promotion has secretly been to get rid of "junk" iPods or iPod Touches for YEARS now. Indeed, by that logic every new Mac model introduction "proves" that the last model must have been junk. That's the part that's not true. Was the promotion a clever way to clear out the last of the "soon to be old" model's stock ahead of the new announcement? Yes it was. Does the fact that Apple replaced the first generation (name of product) with a second generation (name of product) mean that they thought the first generation was junk? No it does not. The 1st gen was thought to be an iPhone without the phone, but wasn't really even that, with a slower processor, a weak battery and weak wifi. They didn't sell very well, and Apple was clearing them out as it had already introduced gen 2.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
