Apple seeks damages from recycling firm that didn't damage its devices: 100,000 iThings 'resold' rather than broken up as expected

Re: Sickening

Do Apple *really* sell refurbished stuff? If you buy anything directly from Apple you have two weeks to return it, no questions asked whatsoever, even if you decide that macOS isn’t really for you. They’re quite generous in this respect. Here’s the rub: everything that gets returned and can be re-sold ends up in the refurbished channel. I suspect in many cases that amounts to little more than plugging a test gadget into the diagnostic port and giving it a buff with a cloth.
