Dear Chinese consumers:
致尊敬的中国消费者：

Over the past two weeks we have been receiving lot of feedback about Apple’s repair and warranty policy in China. We have thought deeply about those points of view and together with the relevant government departments carefully studied our “Three Guarantees” policy. We have also reviewed how we communicate about our maintenance policy and checked our management of our Apple authorized service providers. We are aware that a lack of communication during this process has led to the perception that Apple is arrogant and doesn’t care or attach enough importance to consumer feedback. We express our sincere apologies for any concerns or misunderstandings this gave consumers.
在过去的两周里，我们收到了许多关于Apple在中国维修和保修政策的反馈。我们不仅对这些意见进行了深刻的反思，与相关部门一起仔细研究了 “三包” 规定，还审视了我们维修政策的沟通方式，并梳理了我们对Apple授权服务提供商的管理规范。我们意识到，由于在此过程中对外沟通不足而导致外界认为Apple态度傲慢，不在意或不重视消费者的反馈。对于由此给消费者带来的任何顾虑或误会，我们表示诚挚的歉意。
