According to Bloomberg and AP reports, as of 10/25 Apple is only accepting plastic for iPhone purchases “so sales can be tracked.” While Wired doesn’t believe this is illegal at a Federal level, I imagine there are jurisdictions where refusing cash is prohibited. In reality, this restriction won’t negatively impact many – However, and regardless of legality, limiting payment options doesn’t strike me as consumer friendly. In fact, it makes me want to visit an Apple store with 400 dollars in unrolled pennies. And a video camera.
