Australia? Call ACCC, my friend.
Then call Apple and say you're talking to the ACCC. Call centres have ACCC as an escalation codeword - every investigation ACCC begins costs the company $1000.
They may refuse, so ACCC will investigate.
If ACCC can't help, *then* you're boned.

Christ - big report from the ACCC out about Coles and Woolies making huge profits .. and so their share price goes up.
As the ACCC supermarket inquiry revealed that our supermarkets have some of the highest profits in the world, supermarket stock prices have rallied today, by 4-6%.
Investors know the ACCC can’t hurt Coles & Woolies.
It’s time for more powers to control price gouging & a prices commission.

The federal government's announced that the ACCC will be cracking down on price-gouging at petrol stations.
Which would be great news if the ACCC actually had the power to stop firms from price-gouging.
