Mangaluru: Mobile retailers to protest against Apple iphone issues on September 17
Mangaluru: The Dakshina Kannada and Udupi Mobile Retailers Association has announced a protest against the Apple Maple Service Center in the city on September 17, following complaints from iPhone users facing issues such as blank screens or lines on their device screens after the recent Apple iOS update.
Addressing a press conference at the city's Press Club on Monday, Vivek G., News and Media Manager of the All India Mobile Retailers Association, stated that the protest march will begin at 11 a.m. from Ambedkar (Jyoti) Circle and proceed to the Apple Service Center Maple, ending at Clock Tower.
"This is the first time local retailers are taking to the streets to support their customers. Many affected customers have already approached consumer courts due to the issue, and we are urging more customers to join the protest," said Vivek. He also highlighted that local stores are more committed to customer protection than foreign companies like Flipkart or Amazon, which may not address such issues properly.
Many customers who purchased iPhones through EMI are struggling to meet their monthly payments due to the ongoing technical issues, causing the Retailers Association to take up the fight on their behalf.
Present at the press conference were D.K. and Udupi Mobile Retailers Association Chairman Gurudutt Kamath, President Rajesh Mabian, Secretary Imran, Founder President Salim, Ex-President Shailendra Saralaya, and Vice President Azhar Muhammad.
