Apple nixing iPhone 4 restocking fees…for now

After Apple finally made an official statement regarding the iPhone 4‘s reception problems, the Cupertino company concluded the letter with the note that anyone unhappy with their copy of the iPhone 4 could return the smartphone “within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.”

Usually, it’s not a full refund as there’s often a 10% restocking fee, but it looks like that has been lifted for the time being.

According to Computer World, Apple has dropped the restocking fee for returns within 30 days of purchase. Given the antenna/reception/”software” issues surrounding the iPhone 4 and with Apple facing a fresh lawsuit, it’s a small but decent PR move for the company. It’s not evident yet how long that Apple will do away with the restocking charge, or if they will bring it back in the future.

Normally, this restocking fee would be as high as $30. Early termination charges with AT&T are another story, so you might not be able to get away entirely.
