Apple has scrapped its longstanding free-of-charge return policy in Hong Kong and Macao, in a sign of the tech giant's determination to deter scalpers from making a quick buck on its newly launched handsets.

苹果取消了香港和澳门地区一直以来实行的免费退货政策，此举显示了苹果公司打击黄牛靠着新发布的机型谋取暴利的决心。

Apple had previously allowed customers in Hong Kong and Macao to return the undamaged products for free, with the original receipt and packaging, within 14 days of the pick-up date.

此前，苹果公司允许香港和澳门的用户在购买手机14天内凭借包装盒和原始小票免费退换未损坏的手机产品。
