This story sounds almost as believable as a book by the Obamadork.

I call bull-Obama on her story.

it is Apple company policy to not sell products to anyone from Iran>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I have no problem with that fact.

Let them buy it black market for 5 times the price.

Iran and its Muslim people have been responsible for the deaths of thousands of Westerners, some by video taped execution.

That kind of blanket policy is just idiotic. There are Iranian expat U.S. Citizens who haven’t lived in Iran for 30 years, work for national security agencies, and probably speak Farsi to each other among family members.

Interesting. Following US law against export to these countries, lots of software sold has these exact restrictions but I’ve never seen them to be enforced by somebody making a purchase within the US.

The only somewhat surprising thing about this story is that she publicly volunteered the fact that she was going to export the ipad yet, as far as the article mentions, nobody bothers to investigate further.

Why do I think she probably asked if she could send the Ipad to Iran.

Apple cannot change its policy. It is so ordered by the government as part of our embargo policy.

A Persian wants to buy an Ipad, send it to her cousin in Persia, and Apple won’t allow it? That’s racist! In 3...2...1... obama will issue a special exemption.

I am actually impressed that a retailer trains its associates well enough to prevent ITAR violations. I work in an ITAR governed environment, and the number of times I have to tell the customer “No” on sending out documents without ITAR markings.

If Kotex refused to sell her a Maxi-Pad, she might have something to complain about.

She originally wanted an iPhone, but Siri doesn't speak Farsi.
