I bought an ipad 3 two months ago not knowing the ipad 4 was coming out how do I get compensated???

Nope :) GL

If you bought the ipad using the Amex card, automatically you get return protection upto $300.

Atleast you may reduce your loss.

it is possible apple will issue $100 credit i thought it happens with iphone 1

So if I buy something with an AmEx card I automatically get a refund whenever a newer model is introduced?

Gotta get me one o' them!!!

Why would Apple owe anyone anything? It's a new model. New models come out all the time.

You are a senior member so I don't want to trigger a argument because of your contribution to the community.

Here the 'Sicilianbrat94' is asking a question in the forum, how to get compensated .

By using Amex card return protection, he can atleast get compensated to some extent.

And I am sincerely wondering how that works. I have no earthly idea why AmEx would do such a thing. Please explain it?

Apple never makes announcements before hand. Why would Apple owe someone money because the they didn't hear any rumors about an iPad 4? The logic of it defies me, honestly.

I bought my Early '09 Mac mini in MAY '09. The Late '09 Mac mini was introduced in NOV '09, seven months after the Early '09 Mac mini. I never dreamed that I should have received compensation.

It's true, with AmEx you can cancel purchases even after a long time-lapse (forgot the exact number) with no questions asked. It's very handy if you get duped on ebay / paypal.

Mind you, AmEx has its drawbacks too, research before you try to get one.

I am in the same situation. I'm not looking for compensation, but I will say, I'm very disappointed on the early ipad 4 announcement only after the ipad 3 was only 7 months old. I acquired mine 60 days before the annoucement.

At least car manufactures might not announce the functions and features in the new model but you know when they come out!

Please go through the terms, may be you can help if I have overlooked some thing
