One of the most horrific experience of buying an Iphone at Unicorn which is an authorised Premium Retailer of @Apple
I walked into the Hazratganj,Lucknow store of Unicorn knowing exactly what to buy. Asked the sales guy to get the same billed. In the next 2 mins the phone was at the billing counter with a phone cover & screen guard accessory.
I simply asked him to remove the same, but he did not budge insisting its under some offer & cannot be billed without the same. After arguing for 5 mins he gave up & asked the billing person to bill the same. Dont know how the system could now bill just the phone. I just got it billed & paid.
After the billing , the sales guy asked me to open the box which was absolutely okay. Following which he insisted that the phone needs to be switched on & activated in the store itself. I didnt want to activate or switch it on there at the store, since it was meant to be gifted.
He had the audacity to say ‘You cannot take the phone out of the showroom without activating’. The phone has been paid for & now belongs to me, how can a sales person just do this?
I put my foot down, that i will not activate or switch on the phone. Either you cancel the transaction or let me take the same.
After 20 mins of policy lecturing by the apple team & the store manager, I was finally able to take the phone without activating.
I just want to ask @AppleSupport that is this a Global or National level policy by you? If not why such policies are being enforced to the customer at a local level which is spoiling the while experience of buying an Apple Product
If I share a video and show How Ai Plus smartphone is sending data to china will I get legal Notice too ?
I have spent 1 month and didn't slept many days too with all brands to check it out. but want to share with Ai Plus only coz this brand is just out of control..
In last three years, I have already received
- 2 Legal Court Notice from bangalore court
- 1 Copyright Strike with No Question Asked from France
- 2 video taken down by a Big Big Brand.
- 1 Notice from Delhi Court and Cyver police involvement then video gor taken down..
I know I will get Legal and copyright too..
If you are supporting me in this, I will make video live on next week..
If anyone can prove that TechBar was funded, directly or indirectly, by any competing smartphone brand to target or unfairly attack AI+, I will delete my entire channel myself.
No hidden agenda. No paid narrative.
Only consumer-first commentary, publicly discussed information, and my honest opinion as a reviewer.
Been following all this drama for few weeks now.
I have tried to refrain away from it as it doesn’t involve me.
But it’s time to speak up.
Brands : Build the best possible products from their pov.
Tech Community: Voice out what the feel about few products that they decide to try from their pov.
It’s a pov,
Nothing personal.
If there is a conflict in opinion and if brands feel feel it’s not just and right the way a journalist or creator has put it out there ,
Best way is to pick up the phone and talk it out.
Not in court.
IMO that’s a better way.
Doing all this drama just drains energy.
Energy should be put in the right places.
Time is limited for all of us in this world.
Make positive impact with it.
Not negative.
