Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. The American company doesn't seem to have a moment of peace, being threatened by mobile phone operators because of the way it forces them to buy iPhones. Specifically, mobile phone operators in South Korea are complaining about Apple forcing them to buy iPhones that are on display for use in stores across the country, something that probably happens globally.
Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. A group of mobile phone operators from South Korea is at the center of this scandal, the American company being threatened including being sued because of this practice regarding iPhone phones. Operators say that phone manufacturers offer free units for presentation in stores, but Apple obliges the full price purchase of iPhones that are displayed for customers, something that doesn't seem too normal to me either.
Apple. THREATS from Operators because of the iPhone
Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. Operators complain about the fact that iPhone phones have become more expensive in recent years, which increases their costs, they make little money anyway from the sale of these phones, which we already know for a long time. The even more comical part is that Apple imposes conditions for the presentation of iPhones bought by the operators, who have to make the presentation stands at their own expense, and place them in positions specially chosen by Apple, together with the promotional materials.
A group of Korean smartphone retailers on Nov. 21 protested against US tech giant Apple's practice of forcing them to purchase in-store tester iPhones. Normally, most manufacturers provide all smartphones needed for display, which are collected later. Apple, on the other hand, forces retailers to purchase all the phones used for demonstration purposes, giving more burden to retailers than other manufacturers. Retailers not only bear the price of building shelves to display the devices for demonstration, but Apple also strictly controls the location of such shelves, as well as where posters are hung.
Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. Last year the authorities in South Korea found the company guilty of forcing telephone operators to buy minimum quantities of iPhone phones, but also of the obligation to share the repair costs for the phones. Now, it is very possible that the operators will win the case in court against Apple, but the important thing to understand from here is the fact that if they had made enough money from the sale of the iPhone, they would not have complained, but they don't really.
