Apple offers 14 day refund for iTunes purchases in Europe

Apple is offering a 14-day, no-questions-asked return policy for all content purchased through iTunes, according to 9to5Mac. The latest offer is only available in certain cities of Europe.

The new policy applies to all items purchased through the App Store, iTunes, and iBookstore in the U.K., Germany, Italy, and France. To receive a refund, buyers can either use Apple’s online “Report a Problem” tool or send a physical cancellation form to the company’s European headquarters in Luxembourg. Apple will process the refund in two weeks’ time after it receives the cancellation notice from the customer.

Prior to this, Apple’s policy on returns was that customers could return without charge and without giving any reason until delivery of the product has started. Apple’s new policy does not cover gift cards or gifts on iTunes and hence cannot be returned. This new refund policy also appears to be part of a new consumer rights directive in the EU. Google still has not added a 14-day return policy for apps and other purchases to the EU incarnation of its Play Store, said the report.

Apple iPhone 6 Plus Review

apple-iphone-6-plus-review-17

In 2007, Apple introduced the iPhone as a one-size-fits-all device. “You can’t get your hand around it”, “no one’s going to buy that.” said Steve Jobs, when asked about big screen phones like the 5″ Galaxy Note. This was 2010, after a controversial launch of the 3.5″ iPhone 4. Two years later, a 4″ iPhone 5 happened, and Tim Cook said “It also provides a larger screen without sacrificing one-handed use.”. People had already wanted a bigger iPhone by then. Even the generally awesome Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak got frustrated and said “Part of me wishes that Apple had not been so, kind of, arrogant and feeling we’re the only one with the right clue. I wish they had made a small and a large version of the iPhone; that would have been great for me.” That was the old Apple.

The new Apple heeded to public demand and released the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus a while back. There are now two kinds of iPhones, not one, and in this review, we are going to focus on the “phablet” from Apple, the 5.5″ iPhone 6 Plus.

Note: The review will focus solely on the 6 Plus, in assumption that you already know about the iPhone 6. In case you don’t, we have our iPhone 6 review available for educational purposes.
