After iPhone 3GS Upgrade, Apple Asks me to Insure my 3G

Submitted by Ryan Spoon on June 22, 2009 – 8:00 pmComments

I have criticized Apple’s email marketing efforts before (here and here)… but this one takes the cake:

Your iPhone 3G hardware coverage is about to expire
Don’t say good-bye.
Extend your coverage with the AppleCare Protection Plan.

This email is laughable since I purchased the iPhone 3GS this weekend and used the same email address to pre-order it. And I activated the 3GS through iTunes – effectively replacing iPhone 3G.

I understand that Apple has these emails systematically scheduled; but, you would think they would scrub the recipient list on a weekend when 1,000,000 new iPhones were sold.

Considering I just extended my AT&T contract and upgraded my hardware, I really enjoyed the ironic “don’t say goodbye” tagline.
