Walmart customer irate after his iPhone 6 order for Black Friday is cancelled

Because that's as much as he's willing to pay for?
and even if it's 4 year old phone, it still got apple logo on it's back

I almost gave you a "+" then you spouted that BS about the Apple logo. Sadly I just can't find the "-" button.....

Did you think he'll buy 4 years old phone if its not from apple?

22. ECPirate37 (Posts: 236; Member since: 14 Jul 2011)

Exactly. If it didn't have the apple on the back, good chance that phone wouldn't be bought. I really liked my original Moto X, but couldn't see myself buying that for someone now as a gift. And amazingly enough, no lag on it. haha

The way u comment is like you are that particular customer, for God sake, its his money, he can buy and will buy whatever he wanted let alone the reason why i bought the 4 yo phone

Is it not the truth? There are hundreds of better functioning; reasonably-priced phones on the market, making iPhones a luxury item and not an actual device that's held to the standard of actually doing what those other phones can do if not better, by a larger margin.

You really think he would have bought a four-year-old Android? Please get a hold of yourself

Dude your first reason seems legit but the second one??? Seriously? What about " he values quality products from Apple over low quality android phones and even though they are 4 years old he knows that they'll perform very well" ??? Yes iPhone 6 is still a thing, not because of the Apple logo, but they still perform very well and well optimized thus don't lag like 6 month old Samsung flagships...lolzzz

10. Back_from_beyond (Posts: 732; Member since: 04 Sep 2015)

No they lag much worse than a 6 month old Samsung flagship.

I use 2 phones at my job. My iPhone 6 crashes, freezes, and lags... And it's only a little over 3 years old! My Note 4, still use runs perfect...

Tell me why did Apple bug me to download ios 11.1.2, a bug fix that was for the iPhone X, and nothing to do with iPhone 6.

Oh yeah, my Galaxy S8+ is the best phone of 2017 so far, surpassing the Note 8 (which is too long and narrow like a TV remote control) IMO.

P.S. In all the Galaxy Notes I've owned, I've only used the S-Pen a few times... That' make for me S8+ > Note 8. O.o

You have a defective iPhone. I have 2 co workers with butter smooth iPhone 6 models.

25. Back_from_beyond (Posts: 732; Member since: 04 Sep 2015)

My girlfriend's iPhone 6 Plus isn't buttery smooth, not even close, but she's used to iOS so she keeps using it.

13. cmdacos (Posts: 2512; Member since: 01 Nov 2016)

Actually, from experience they are a laggy mess at this point.

17. jmonteiro829 (Posts: 241; Member since: 13 Feb 2012)

So you didn't upgrade to IOS 11 then I take it!

Coz headphone jacks that's why

14. whatev (Posts: 1303; Member since: 28 Oct 2015)

Because it’s better than a 4 years old android flagship and even better than last year ones, that’s why. Why people aren’t buying old android flagships?
\_(ツ)_/¯

15. cmdacos (Posts: 2512; Member since: 01 Nov 2016)

Not even better than a $100 android in terms of capabilities.

16. whatev (Posts: 1303; Member since: 28 Oct 2015)

Really? Like running a 2 years old OS forever? Not getting apps optimized for it? Cheap hardware? I’m shocked, can you tell me why is still people buying old iPhones over android flagships and that old iPhones outsell android flagships? Why do people using low end android phones switch to iOS when they can afford an iPhone instead of choosing an android flagship? I dare you reply without the terms: iSheep, iFans, iDiot, stupid, dumb, ignorant, illiterate, etc. Cause I already know that kind of predictable answers from people like you, be original please

There are a lot of people that don't like to be locked down and want to be different than everyone else. The fact that you (iPhone user) still can't customize your device the way you like as in drop an app icon anywhere you want so that you can actually see your wallpaper is ridiculous!. The notifications for iOS are attrocious to the point that no one can use them and end up disabling notifications for their most used apps. How about headphone jack! Wireless charging which Android had for years now! Water and dust resistance... another that Android devices have had for years. Easily adding your own music to the phone without iTunes! People that still throw out the optimized arguement haven't used the most resent Android versions. Many enthusiast are stating that Android crashes less then iOS now!

Apple logo

The average person sees a "cheap" iPhone and that's all that matters.

5. Doakie (Posts: 2390; Member since: 06 May 2009)

I don't see how your comment even applies to the article.

8. Dr.Phil (Posts: 2013; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)

Seriously? The article is about a guy ordering an iPhone on Black Friday when Wal-Mart's own ad mentions that it would be running the sales starting at midnight Thursday.

"One customer ordered a pair of Apple iPhone 6 handsets for his twins at midnight Friday. At 7pm, he received a message that his "bulk" order was cancelled."

The person erroneously believed that the sales started on midnight Friday, but they didn't. They started at midnight Thursday as it says in the ad.

9. Back_from_beyond (Posts: 732; Member since: 04 Sep 2015)

If the website still said they were in stock when he ordered them though, he did nothing wrong. Wal-Mart's reaction in that case is an odd one and I think he's justified in being angry at them. If the website for whatever reason reported they were in stock when actually they no longer were they have to stick to the order at that price and just deliver when back in stock, they're not allowed to just cancel it. So based on what we know, your initial comment had indeed nothing to do with it.

19. jmonteiro829 (Posts: 241; Member since: 13 Feb 2012)

Unfortunately we all know how well these department stores keep their inventory up to date! You are better off calling the store closest to you to verify and then drive to that location to get them.

20. BuffaloSouce (Posts: 832; Member since: 01 May 2017)

Yeah good luck getting someone to answer your call to verify inventory on Black Friday especially a packed store like Wal Mart

23. Dr.Phil (Posts: 2013; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)

Yes but you also forget that he bought two phones instead of one and that Wal-Mart reserves the right to limit quantities purchased as per their policy:

“Walmart.com also reserves the right to limit the quantity of items purchased per person, per household or per order.”

24. Dr.Phil (Posts: 2013; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)

Also you have to understand that the “in stock” button does not necessarily guarantee that the item is indeed in stock. Why? Because it doesn’t take into account orders that are in people’s carts and it also doesn’t take into account orders awaiting payment approval. You can add an item to your cart but if someone else added it to theirs before yours or their payment was approved before yours then they get the first stock. I’ve had a few orders end up cancelling because some other person added it to their cart before me or their payment was before mine. Most online retailers stock will only show accurate results after an order has been completed.
