Wife says no to iPad 2, but Apple execs say yes

Apple has reached out to customers before who had issues with buying iPads, but never in this way. Assuming this is correct, the wife said no, but Apple said yes.

It's something that smells of an even Snopes needs to look into. According to the story, a man returned an iPad 2 to an Apple store, saying "Wife said no."

According to the report, some Apple VPs got wind of it, as the story was circulated as a humorous tidbit, and they decided to get some good PR out of it.

[Apple's] focus this week has been to troubleshoot all the iPad 2s that customers are returning to the stores. One iPad came back with a post it note on it that said "Wife said no." It was escalated as something funny, and two of the VPs got wind of it. They sent the guy an iPad 2 with a note on it that said "Apple said yes."

Whether or not this is true is unclear. If it is true, we'd guess that the objection the wife had was price.
