Apple Reportedly in Negotiations With Record Labels For Unlimited Music Downloads

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated October 23, 2016

If there's one feature that I really appreciate about the App Store, it's the ability to re-download previous purchases with ease.

Even if you're on another device, all you need is your iTunes login credentials and bam; it's downloading again, for free.

The iTunes music store doesn't exactly work like that. I rarely download music from iTunes, so I was shocked the first time that I realized I couldn't re-download an album that I had bought previously.

Fortunately, for those of you that rely on iTunes for all of your music needs, this might be about to change...

Bought an iPad Within the Last 2 Weeks? Apple Will Refund You $100

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated November 12, 2019

If you're disappointed you recently bought an iPad and just realized that not only the new iPad 2 is coming out next week, but the first gen iPad also got a $100 price drop, then there is hope for you. According to Electric Pig, Apple will refund the $100 difference if you have your receipt and if you bought your iPad within the last 14 days.

Even better, and from personal experience, if you bought your iPad within the last couple days, you can return it to Apple once the iPad 2 is out and switch to the newer model. I did that with my iMac a few months ago when the new one came out while I had bought mine just days before.

When did you buy your iPad? Are you eligible for a refund or even an upgrade?

Or maybe Big Red is playing these figures close to the chest for another reason. According to analysts, Verizon actually sold 1 million iPhones over opening weekend.
