Is there anyone else out there that is as disgusted as me about this story? this is total crap ! If Apple are going to racially profile customers then I will now racially profile American products ! I will now boycott ANYTHING made in USA! I would have told the shop assistant to shove it where the sun dont shine ! in any case the Samsung Galaxy is far more superior than the iPhone

"While Sabet is a U.S. citizen and a student at the University of Georgia, she was purchasing the iPad for a cousin living in Iran."
Could it be that she told the employee that she was purchasing it for her cousin in Iran? If so... that isn't profiling. Granted, I don't know if it is the sales person's job to enforce that part of the policy, but the policy did say that products aren't supposed to go to Iran.
" products aren't supposed to go to Iran. " Yeah and now USA can't wait to sell its toxic poison Coca Cola in Burma ! f*ck the American warmongers! I hope the entire world stops buying American crap
Soft drinks and cutting edge technology.... I can see how you might not understand the difference in importance
Don't think Apple makes anything in the USA. Not that it would make a difference since Apple gets a free pass from everybody who hates the 1% and hates corporations who exploit China to make money. Talking tough is one thing; giving up an iPad or Iphone or Ipod is something else
This is a crap shit. If you love something and dont know how to get it - there always be your friends are ready to go and dig that ditch.
