Apple is no longer accepting cash for iPhone purchases, as a way to try and prevent people from unlocking them for non-AT&T networks. Apparently Steve missed the place where it says “Legal tender for all debts, public and private” right there on your money.
Well, I’m sure someone else will notice this and sue Apple appropriately.
UPDATE: Apple is also not accepting gift cards for iphones as that could have been purchased with cash. Yeah its getting a little crazy in here.
