According to two unconfirmed reports from Apple blog 9 to 5 Mac, Apple will be changing two key policies at its Apple Store retail locations. First, the blog reports that Apple plans to do away with its restocking fees beginning tomorrow, January 11th. Currently, Apple charges a 10% restocking fee to customers returning non-defective products purchased purchased from an Apple Store location. Moving forward, according to the report, Apple will no longer require that a fee be paid when returning functional products. 9 to 5 Mac also reports that Apple will soon implement a personal setup service for Mac computers. Despite the simple configuration processes on Macs, Apple Store employees will “help you setup [sic] your e-mail accounts, walk you through the Mac App Store, setup an iTunes account for you, and show you the basic pointers of owning a Mac.” The new configuration assistance policy is also expected to go into effect tomorrow.

    More Android news please. The articles should read as follows:

    Verizon: “Our numbers showed that Android peaked and started to slow, that is how At&t has been eating our market share and profits with the iPhone this last year”

    Google: “We realize that the iPhone on Verizon is going to hurt Android sales in the first six months but that isn’t our main concern. Our main concern is what we are going to do with all of the returned Android devices. For a few years now we have gotten away with the ‘MeToo’ product that is Android but we are smart enough to know that the more intelligent Android customers out there were only buying Android because the iPhone wasn’t available. Maybe we can put Chrome OS on these returned devices and ship them back out to developers or something………. we are working on it as we speak.”

    Microsoft. “Verizon could not even sell our amazing KIN devices to customers, how are they going to sell iPhones to people?”

    HTC: “The biggest problem we see with the Verizon iPhone is that we as a company now have to create three new Android devices a month instead of just one. So we will definitely take a hit on our profits. We will make that up in volume though, have you seen our knew Android flip phones on Cricket?”
