After I found out that a new Ipod Touch comes with the sofware version 2, and upgrade to version 3.0 would cost $10 i contactetd Apple:
-
Hi, my name is Amanda R. Welcome to Apple!
-
You: hi

Amanda R: Good evening.
-
Amanda R: How may I assist you today?
-
You: i just bought a new ipodtouch
-
Amanda R: Great!
-
You: and when i connected to tunes it told me that i should upgrade to version 3.0
-
Amanda R: Correct, you can upgrade to versioin 3.0. It is the newest version.
-
You: why am i charged for hat?
-
You: it’s a new device
-
Amanda R: No, it is a free download.
-
You: shouldnt it come with the latest os?
-
You: 9.95
-
Amanda R: The release is fairly new and all of the models are not equipped yet.
-
Amanda R: One moment while I check for you.
-
Amanda R: I apologize for the confusion. It is $9.95 for the iPod touch download.
-
You: ok
-
You: but its a new device
-
You: shouldnt it come with a new os?
-
Amanda R: I understand, but the 3.0 is a newer release. It is an upgrade. The iPod touch will work fine without it.
-
Amanda R: If you want the updated software then you can download it.
-
You: i am not sure that i get it
-
You: is it an os upgrade?
-
Amanda R: It is an upgrade, but it will cost $9.95 to download.
-
You: i see. what can i say, i’m disapointed that apple is not providing the latest updates to a new device
-
Amanda R: I understand your frustration.
-
You: thank you that makes me feel much better
-
Amanda R: You’re welcome.
-
You: I was being sarcastic

You: good night amanda, it’s not your fault that apple is forgetting the core value of customer experience
