Dear Chinese consumers:致尊敬的中國消費者：

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.在過去的兩周里，我們收到了許多關于Apple在中國維修和保修政策的反饋。我們不僅對這些意見進行了深刻的反思，與相關部門一起仔細研究了 “三包” 規定，還審視了我們維修政策的溝通方式，并梳理了我們對Apple授權服務提供商的管理規范。我們意識到，由于在此過程中對外溝通不足而導致外界認為Apple態度傲慢，不在意或不重視消費者的反饋。對于由此給消費者帶來的任何顧慮或誤會，我們表示誠摯的歉意。
