Apple even dictated how the demo phones were to be arranged and displayed. The Korea Mobile Distributors Association (KMDA) released a press release on Nov. 21 saying that Apple has been forcing Korean retailers to purchase and display demo phones and threatening to ban them from selling Apple products if they failed to comply with demands.
