Im September 2007 wurde der Preis f\u00fcr das nur zwei Monate zuvor in den Handel gekommene iPhone der ersten Generation \u00fcberraschend drastisch gesenkt: Statt 599 Dollar mussten Kunden fortan nur noch 399 Dollar f\u00fcr die Version mit 8 GB Speicher bezahlen, die kleinere Variante mit 4 GB (ehemals 499 Dollar) wurde zeitgleich komplett aus dem Programm gestrichen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.iphone-ticker.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/steve-jobs-iphone-touchscreen.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphone-ticker.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/steve-jobs-iphone-touchscreen-300x159.jpg\" alt=\"Steve Jobs Iphone Touchscreen\" width=\"300\" height=\"159\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-113362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.iphone-ticker.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/steve-jobs-iphone-touchscreen-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/images.iphone-ticker.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/steve-jobs-iphone-touchscreen.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bestandskunden zeigten sich in Folge dieser Preissenkung verst\u00e4ndlicherweise ver\u00e4rgert und der damalige Apple-Chef Steve Jobs sah sich veranlasst, die unternehmerische Entscheidung ausf\u00fchrlich zu erkl\u00e4ren. Begleitend fand Jobs auch Worte der Entschuldigung und k\u00fcndigte an, Bestandskunden mit einem Einkaufsgutschein \u00fcber 100 Dollar zu entsch\u00e4digen.<\/p>\n<p>In einem offenen Brief begr\u00fcndete der Apple-Chef die Preissenkung damit, dass man aggressiv um neue Kunden werben wolle um die Nutzergemeinde m\u00f6glichst schnell auszubauen. Von den damit verbundenen M\u00f6glichkeiten w\u00fcrden auch bestehende Nutzer stark profitieren. Allerdings habe man das Vertrauen, das die K\u00e4ufer der ersten Stunden dem Unternehmen geschenkt hatten, nicht ausreichend gew\u00fcrdigt. Jobs gestand ein, dass man hier unternehmerische Fehler gemacht habe und gelobte Besserung. Als Entsch\u00e4digung wurde die Gutschein-Aktion ins Leben gerufen.<\/p>\n<h2>Steve Jobs\u2019 offener Brief an iPhone-Besitzer<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I have received hundreds of emails from iPhone customers who are upset about Apple dropping the price of iPhone by $200 two months after it went on sale. After reading every one of these emails, I have some observations and conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>First, I am sure that we are making the correct decision to lower the price of the 8GB iPhone from $599 to $399, and that now is the right time to do it. iPhone is a breakthrough product, and we have the chance to \u2018go for it\u2019 this holiday season. iPhone is so far ahead of the competition, and now it will be affordable by even more customers. It benefits both Apple and every iPhone user to get as many new customers as possible in the iPhone \u2018tent\u2019. We strongly believe the $399 price will help us do just that this holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>Second, being in technology for 30+ years I can attest to the fact that the technology road is bumpy. There is always change and improvement, and there is always someone who bought a product before a particular cutoff date and misses the new price or the new operating system or the new whatever. This is life in the technology lane. If you always wait for the next price cut or to buy the new improved model, you\u2019ll never buy any technology product because there is always something better and less expensive on the horizon. The good news is that if you buy products from companies that support them well, like Apple tries to do, you will receive years of useful and satisfying service from them even as newer models are introduced.<\/p>\n<p>Third, even though we are making the right decision to lower the price of iPhone, and even though the technology road is bumpy, we need to do a better job taking care of our early iPhone customers as we aggressively go after new ones with a lower price. Our early customers trusted us, and we must live up to that trust with our actions in moments like these.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, we have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&amp;T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store. Details are still being worked out and will be posted on Apple\u2019s website next week. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n<p>We want to do the right thing for our valued iPhone customers. We apologize for disappointing some of you, and we are doing our best to live up to your high expectations of Apple.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Jobs Apple CEO<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vg06.met.vgwort.de\/na\/14dac0719f8645c98997f39281c7d086\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" class=\"tracking\"><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><h8>Via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/apple\/comments\/ac5rgg\/an_open_letter_to_iphone_owners_from_steve_jobs\/\">Reddit<\/a><\/h8><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iphone-ticker.de\/2007-als-apple-die-iphone-preise-gesenkt-hat-135790\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphone-ticker.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/steve-jobs-iphone-touchscreen-300x159.jpg\" class=\"alignright wp-post-image tfe\" alt=\"Steve Jobs Iphone Touchscreen\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><p>Apple musste nun offiziell eingestehen, dass sich das iPhone nicht so gut verkauft, wie urspr\u00fcnglich erwartet.
