The Costco Wholesasle chain is phasing out Apple products, per a mutual agreement between the companies, Chief Financial Officer Richard Galanti told the “Seattle Times” (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2013631005_costco09.html).
Costco had sold iPods and pre-loaded iTunes cards for years, although never at huge discounts. What’s more Apple never allowed Costco to sell its products online like other retailers, Galanti said. “In the past couple months, we agreed to wind down,” he told the “Seattle Times.”
