lovingboth | My second Apple (Reply)

After the first one went back, the second one was ordered and arrived the next day.

It was beautifully packed.

I open it to check for screen damage.. a tiny.. hang on, the keyboard's not the same!? A look on the side reveals completely the wrong ports (a couple of USB A and a MagSafe power, rather than a couple of USB C) and indeed the bottom says that this is a model from somewhere between 2012 and 2017. (For some reason, Apple kept the same ID for at least six different models.)

It went straight off to the local CeX for a refund - I didn't even bother powering it up to see which unacceptable one it was.

A combination of a power cut there and the idiots who sent it not replying to their messages meant I got the refund at 4-something, but that proved too late to have the replacement replacement sent yesterday. (Having used around £250 of vouchers, I didn't want to pay it all by card, so I needed to wait for those to be replaced for instant use.)

It better arrive tomorrow, and it better be the right one.
