Don’t try to use your iPhone inside an Apple store - Scobleizer
by: Stuart

Found on Scobleizer:

I am inside the Apple Burlingame store with Maryam and Patrick (we were here to try out and buy some new cases). Abdul Tarbzouni just met me (he’s here to buy a case too).

He has an iPhone. He is attending MIT studying computer science. He wanted to take a photo of me. And I wanted to take a photo of him. The problem is that an Apple employee came up to me and said it’s Apple policy that photography isn’t allowed in the store.

I gave some lip back and she threatened to kick me out of the store. God, I love Apple sometimes. Spend lots of money. Buy lots of iPhones. Just don’t try to use them inside an Apple store.

Read some of the comments, they made me chuckle:

  1. I don’t know, I managed to take some pictures in my local Apple store. I had other problems, unfortunately.

  2. There’s an Apple policy! What else is in it, I wonder.

  3. I don’t think that is heavily enforced in all stores. I brought my big dSLR into an Apple store a while ago, snapped a few pics in plain site of employees and no one seemed to care.

  4. That’s strange as all the demo phones allow you to take pics. Sounds like some little worker bee was just being difficult. And we’ve seen plenty of Flickr pics from other Apple stores.

  5. I’ve heard the no photography inside the Apple store policy, and while I don’t agree with it, it is their store.

    That being said, the girl at the checkout counter in the background, wowzers.
