The ThinkSecret Web site has a long special report on a lawsuit filed by some of Apple’s resellers, in which the resellers question Apple’s wholesale pricing of products for its own stores vs. their authorized resellers. The plaintiffs claim Apple’s own retail stores receive bigger discounts on merchandise, and that Apple’s accounting practices don’t accurately reflect the true costs of operating the stores. The story is accompanied by copies of Apple store invoices that appear to show the prices differences.
