We demand that Apple, Inc. immediately issue a public apology to the several Iranian-Americans who were denied the purchase of iPads and iPhones solely on the basis that they spoke Persian! We demand that Apple  to take immediate steps to ensure its policies regarding the enforcement of Iran sanctions do not continue to discriminate against Iranian Americans and Iranians in the U.S. We demand that Apple clarify their position on the issue and train their employees accordingly. The current treatment of Iranian-American customers is a misguided and unlawful discrimination.

My parents experienced this exact thing at the mall. So humiliating. Why is this happening in 2016? Stop the profiling.

Talk about a massive overreach. Employees need better training because this is just straight up harassment.

This is rediculous. My cousin was treated like a criminal just for asking a question in Farsi. Apple needs to get it together.

NEVER buying another product from them again. Treating customers like this in the US is completely unacceptable.
