"Struggling iPhone 15 Faces Deep Discounts in China Amid Slowing Sales"

The iPhone 15 is facing challenges in the Chinese market, with resellers offering significant discounts to boost sales, as demand for the device lags behind expectations.

Tesla Warns Cybertruck Resellers of Severe Penalties

Tesla has added a section to its Motor Vehicle Order Agreement stating that early buyers of the Cybertruck who try to sell the electric pickup within the first year of purchase without written permission from the automaker could face penalties of $50,000 or the value received from the sale. Tesla may also refuse to sell future vehicles to customers who break the agreement. However, if Tesla agrees to the resale, the customer can sell it to a third party with written consent. The Cybertruck is set to be delivered to the first customers at the end of this month.

Tesla's Legal Battle Against Cybertruck Resellers

Tesla has included a clause in its motor vehicle order agreement for the Cybertruck, stating that it can sue customers for $50,000 if they resell the vehicle within a year of purchase. The company may seek injunctive relief or the value received for the sale, whichever is greater. Customers can avoid this by obtaining written consent from Tesla, although the conditions for granting exceptions are unclear. This move is likely aimed at ensuring that the Cybertruck is only sold to those who have paid for it, possibly due to the vehicle not entering mass production until next year.

The Ups and Downs of Final Fantasy 16's Collector's Edition and State of Play

The Collector's Edition of Final Fantasy 16, which includes a statue, pins, steelbook case, and cloth map, is completely sold out and being scalped by resellers on eBay for double its MSRP, with some asking for up to £999.99. Square Enix has been criticized for the limited availability of its products, with pre-orders for the Anniversary Edition of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster also being sold for over $1,200. It's recommended to forget about the Collector's Edition and move on with life rather than paying such exorbitant prices.
