May be not exactly true.....
As soon as Apple "sells" a phone/computer to a retailer be it a
reseller, university store or ?? they then consider it sold. So how
many are on the boat still coming in from China that Apple is
saying have been sold. I'm thinking Apple is blowing smoke (or
smoking what they have grown in their back yard) and has not
actually sold all of these to retail customers, but rather middle-
men in the supply chain. Last Apple box I bought was sold to a
University Book Store so Apple considered it sold and had
started the warranty clock based on that sale date. When I hissed
they changed the sale date so I could get the full Apple warranty
based on the purchase date from the University Apple Store. I'm
going to be hard pressed to believe anything from Apple after I
was just "had" on my iPhone purchase.

Calling 611 Has no idea on this issue
Called 611 on my iPhone yesterday and asked for a detailed
billing after getting the 611 message. I was told... Not a problem
but no mention was made that it will now cost me $1.99 per
phone line (I have four lines) to get the itemized billing I've been
getting all along on my other three phones. I recently combined
my land line with wireless to save $4.00 a month in billing
charges. Not much but it's $52.00 a year I can save. Now that
I've bought an iPhone I get it stabbed in the back with these
extra charges. It looks like AT&T needs to clean up what they
track. I'm not a happy camper because they don't have their act
together.
In my case I HAVE to have detailed billing due to business usage
of the phone(s) but when I call 611 they have no idea these extra
charges exist and have no way to exclude specific phones. It's
not stated in my contract that I'll be charged per line for a
detailed statement, when I've been getting this all along.
At this point in time the rep I talked to is "researching" this
revelation... He had no knowledge about the charges. Going to
be a lot more upset customers who need detailed billing and
now have to pay for it.
