New York Woman Takes a Bite Out of Apple

Source: www.voip-news.com

It was bound to happen sooner or later, in this litigious-crazy world we live in. Dongmei Li, hailing from Queens, New York, has filed a suit in New York Federal Court against Apple and AT&T for price discrimination, discrimination in offering rebates versus credits, underselling, unfair and deceptive practices, and other violations of federal laws. Where’s all this coming from? From when Steve Jobs chopped $200 off the iPhone so shortly after the hot device went on the market.

Her lawsuit noted, “Apple’s discrimination in price between early and later purchasers substantially caused the early purchasers to be injured because early purchasers cannot resell their iPhones for the same profit as later purchasers.”

And the bottom line to make Ms. Li happy? Compensatory damages of $1 million, plus punitive damages. Puh-leeze. Just give the woman back her $599 and be done with her. Ridiculous.
