Not MIMO

I don't think this is MIMO, this is activation of a pre-standard feature which was unavailable on sale(.n functionalitly, a significant speed boost). Apple kit with this feature was not advertised as such so as far as the customer is concerned they got what they paid for. This is effecively a hardware upgrade (albeit software activated). My personal opinion is that it is unclear whether this is chargeable so Apple are playing it safe. Given the recent stock options probe, who can blame them...!
