New Apple IPhone restricitions

Apple has limited IPhone sales to credit/debit sales only. Do you think it is fair to not accept cash for this type of transaction? And then they say you can only buy two. I guess they will allow a business to buy more, but individuals are limited.

What if I take $1600 cash into my local AT&T store and request 4 IPhones, one for each family member. What kind of sane business says, no I can’t take your cash an you can only buy 2. Oh well, I guess I will buy Blackberries.

Isn’t cash legal tender for all debts public and private? Does this make any sense from a business stand point?
