Woman Sues Over Apple's iPhone Price Cut

Incensed Over iPhone's $200 Price Cut, Woman Sues Apple for $1M


SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- 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.

Apple lowered the iPhone's price on Sept. 5 and also said it would stop selling the $499 4-gigabyte model. Hundreds of early customers who paid full price didn't expect a reduction so soon and complained.

See this right here is the general basis for why Insurance in this country is so high...

Insurance companies have to charge a lot so they can have the money to pay off settlements for frivalous law suits. I know we are talking about phones here but its the same basic idea.

also doctors get sued for malpractice and have to settle out of court and i read one case where the parents were suing because their child was born with Down Syndrome, which is caused by trisomy 21 and not something a doctor could do while delivering.

that is why those that advocate for socialism in this country will never get their wish because we don't have the society for it, thank God for people like this idiot.

long live capitalism.

Your case is the classical case for capitalism but for me, I cite population growth. Economies don't grow in socialist countries (which is ok for France because their population is shrinking... maybe this is why there's so much butchering of people in communist countries)

So how much of that money does the woman get? And exactly what kind of case do those lawyers think they have in this?

the only way this would work really is if there was a class action law suit, but then you would have to share, and i doubt this has anything to do with prinicple.

That is about as dumb as the senator who filed a lawsuit against god for inhumane acts of cruelty...and that is about as dumb as some fool creating a response from god and leaving it for the people involved to find it saying "it appeared out of nowhere."

I believe by the comment about the senator i think you are talking about the state senator from Nebraska, and the reason he filed the law suit was to show how any one could file a law suit about anything, at least that is what i gathered from all the reports, he was trying to make a point, and a valid one that there are too many frivalous law suits.

I think after you file bogus lawsuits like this and then lose, there should be some kind of punishment. Like being declared mentally incompetent! 😁 It should apply to the lawyers too.

Lets see. I am going to sue LG and circuit city, cause the tv I bought is now 500 bucks less, I think I'll sue wallmart they are always slashing prices, and cause i have such a pathetic life I am just going to check all my receipts now and see if their is anything I bought this year that is cheaper!
The problem is it is too much political **** in this country. What about the lady who just got two million cause her boss just said she looked nice.
The other problem is we throw money at **** to make it go away.
What the hell was anyone really hurt?
