Italian authorities fine Apple another $264K over product warranties

[Wacha1]

Apple's changes to its product warranty policies in Italy have been enough to satisfy investigators, but not before the company was slapped with one final fine totaling $264,000.

A year ago, Italy fined Apple 900,000 euros, or $1.2 million, in response to complaints of "unfair commercial practices" related to the company's AppleCare product warranties. The Italian Antitrust Authority deemed that Apple did not provide adequate information to customers about the length of product guarantees, because local laws require companies to protect buyers with a free two-year warranty.

Even after being hit with that fine, Apple continued to offer customers AppleCare to purchase a two-year warranty rather than receiving one for free. That prompted Italian investigators to again threaten Applein July.

Nashangaa serikali ya Tanzania kutowachukulia hatua wauzaji wa simu za viganjani, Je, wamelipa kodi sahihi kama wenzetu wa ulaya? Tusiwaonee aibu haiwezekani wakashindwa kutokulipa kabisa. Je, tunaweza kupewa makadirio ya malipo ya kodi na vikombolezo vyake kwenye simu za viganjani kutoka kwa makampuni ya simu?

Nashangaa serikali ya Tanzania kutowachukulia hatua wauzaji wa simu za viganjani, Je, wamelipa kodi sahihi kama wenzetu wa ulaya? Tusiwaonee aibu haiwezekani wakashindwa kutokulipa kabisa. Je, tunaweza kupewa makadirio ya malipo ya kodi na vikombolezo vyake kwenye simu za viganjani kutoka kwa makampuni ya simu?

Hapo haiongelewi kodi, kinacho ongelewa Italy authority ambayo inalinda buyers imetoa fine kwa applecare kwa sababu wameshindwa kuwa wawazi juu ya guarantee ya simu, nafikiri walitoa ya mwaka moja na inavyo takikana ni 2 years to 3 years.

Hapa Tanzania wauza simu kama airtel or tigo wanakuwa mwaka mmoja tu, ambayo sio sahihi kwa gharama tunayo nunua simu, ikiwa simu zitakuwa na guarantee itasaidia kutoingizwa simu fake katika soko.

...... kodi na vikombolezo vyake kwenye simu za viganjani kutoka kwa makampuni ya simu?

Sijui ni shule za kata au nini, Tanzania Regulator wa simu za viganjani amelala usingizi wa pono au ndio shule za kata hizi, soma uelewe mada.

Hili lipo hata BOT kwenye shughuli za Kibank sijawahi kusikia hizi Banks wakipigwa fines kwa kukiuka ufanyaji kazi wao hapa Tanzania. Sio kama wanafanya vizuri bali kila uchwao wanakiuka utekelezaji wa kazi zao.

Ni hivi mkuu

Simu zote zinazo ingia nchini zinalipiwa kodi, na hazilipiwi zitakuwa zimepita njia za panya, cha msingi tunacho taka ni quality and guarantee, hivyo vyombo vinavyo husika lazima wawalinde buyers, wanunuzi wake, simu ni fake unapewa mwezi guarantee tu au siku tatu.
