iPhone Purchaser Sues Apple


AP, Woman Sues Over Apple’s iPhone Price Cut: “A New York woman is so angry at Apple Inc. for lopping $200 off the price of the iPhone that she’s filed a lawsuit seeking $1 million in damages. Dongmei Li of Queens, N.Y., claimed the company violated price discrimination laws when it slashed the price of the 8-gigabyte iPhone by a third, from $599 to $399, within two months of the gadget’s June debut.”
The complaint certainly has some, er, interesting interpretations of antitrust and telecom law.
I can’t seem to upload any documents to my server, but here’s the complaint at Findlaw, Li v. Apple, Inc.
There could be an interesting case challenging the fairness of mobile phone contracts under consumer protection laws. This is not that case.
