Quite possibly the exchanges have a simple explanation involving nothing shady.
Even a trivial one, like not getting that "cool! You got an i-pad"
from your apple Fanboi friends, after you "saved" a little $$ buying
the off-brand Samsung.
Or discovering the "Samsung" didn't quite work like your
"iphone" or "ipad", and having to remember how to do things
on "THIS" particular platform is a pain in the neck.
I can think of a teen in my own life who was once like that...and I certainly
have my own computing habits, which have taken me awhile to map onto my
iPad...even while I have read a few thousand pages on it.
Of course, this *does* read against confusion.....[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

All of the cel phone stores and Best Buy's I've been too have
Apple iDevices in their own little corner away from the other
gadgets. IIRC, Apple admitted that much earlier in the trial
and that should contradict anything they've said about
customers accidentally buying a Samsung instead of an Apple.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Note to self: Remember to place mind in gear and re-read the OP before placing
mouth in motion!
Here's a third explanation for returning a few Samsung devices and getting
iThings instead:
There's a certain amount of infant mortality (early failures in the hands of
consumers) that happens within the return period. The reaction, for at least a
few consumers, is "Curses! Didn't save any $$ with samsung! I want an
Apple!"

"I'm most incredulous about stories of people buying Samsung devices
thinking they are Apple products."
Huh? Agree!
Why would anyone want to buy an iPhone when there Android phones that do the
same to a much lower price?
This is why Android succeeded so fast. There was no tangible difference. Plus,
you didn't see that ugly logo of Apple or needed to remove your fingers to have
a working antenna!
