New limits placed on iPhone sales

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Apple Inc. no longer accepts cash for iPhone purchases and now limits sales of the cell phone to two per person in a move to stop people from reselling them. The new policy started Thursday, Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris said. Before then, there was no cash restriction and the purchase limit was five per person. "Customer response to the iPhone has been off the charts, and limiting iPhone sales to two per customer helps us ensure that there are enough iPhones for people who are shopping for themselves or buying a gift," Kerris said. "We're requiring a credit or debit card for payment to discourage unauthorized resellers." More than 1.4-million units of the hybrid cell phone-iPod have been sold since it debuted June 29, according to Apple. It is expected to be a hot gift for the holidays.
