It's no secret that not too many owners are happy with iPhone's recently release firmware 1.1.1. After all, there have been reports that last month's update was followed by bricking incidents involving both hacked and unhacked phones.

In light of this problem, a man over at California has apparently decided to file a civil lawsuit against the company. The suit was filed a few days ago by attorney Damian Fernandez, and further implicated that Apple was attempting to create a monopoly by preventing US users from choosing service providers outside AT&T.

According to Fernandez, Apple was punishing consumers for attempting to exercise their right to unlock their phones to other service providers. This took the form of the firmware update we mentioned earlier.
  
The suit further demanded a jury trial, and asked the court to order Apple to unlock their iPhones, and provide warranty service to hacked devices. It also demanded that the company pay cash compensations for the damages brought upon by its update.
