Apple gets sued once again, and this time they're getting chewed out over something that was meant to make customers happy. iPhone owner Dongmei Li has filed a lawsuit against Apple, Steve Jobs, as well as AT&T over the iPhone price cut, and the US$ 100 rebate given to early adopters of the iPhone.As previously reported, Jobs announced the iPhone price drop to US$ 399 in the same media event where he introduced the new iPod products. Some iPhone customers were disgruntled with the sudden price drop, but were appeased by the US$ 100 coupons sent to those who bought the iPhone launch units. According to Li, she is now a victim of price discrimination as a result of the above business decisions that Apple and Jobs made, because she cannot resell her iPhone for the same value as those who bought it after the price drop. Li stated that there was no reason behind the price cut, which she said was grounds to underselling. The lawsuit also covers AT&T, due to accusations of forcing customers to sign two-year service contracts, which have US$ 175 termination fees attached to them. Li then goes on to say that it was unfair simply because those who purchased the iPhone were able to use unlocking applications that freed them from the contracts. This may seem like a story of another day, another lawsuit, but we do hope that this gets resolved properly, and soon. |
