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.
Apple issued an apology the next day. Under its return policy, Apple refunded the $200 difference for those who bought the phone within 14 days of the reduction. And in a move to make peace with those who purchased the higher-priced phone before that period, the company offered a $100 credit at Apple stores.
According to Li's lawsuit, filed on Sept. 24 in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, the price reduction injured early purchasers like herself because they cannot resell the product for the same profit as those who bought the cell phone following the price cut.
Li purchased a 4GB iPhone for $499 and alleged that owners of the 4GB model were given less favorable terms than those who bought the 8GB model at the premium price, according to the lawsuit.
Apple spokeswoman Susan Lundgren declined to comment, citing the company's policy to not discuss pending litigation.
The lawsuit also named AT&T Inc., the exclusive carrier in the U.S. for the iPhone, and alleged the two companies' required two-year service contract for the iPhone constituted unfair business practices.
Mark Siegel, an AT&T spokesman, declined to comment, saying he had not yet seen the lawsuit.
Probably ranks as one of the most idiotic lawsuits ever, now while she has some legal ground the sheer fact that Apple did apologize and offered a credit to their stores was a pretty big move and everyone knows you never buy the "big tech" items because within the year it's probably going to price drop.
And here I thought it was an actual apple. o.o
So effectively she was a being mentally hilarious and bought that piece of junk for 600 smackers. Then it dropped to 400, Apple gave her 300 which effectively made it a 300 dollar phone, or a 400 dollar one with 100 in free accessories whichever you wanna see it as.
And she's suing them?
Someone needs to hit her with something heavy. In the face.

and then youtube the video 
Silly wench could use her store credit to buy another iPhone and sell that on ebay too.
Given that the item is not meant to be sold on, she shouldn't have a leg to stand on, legally.
She should sue herself for buying such a useless piece of equipment.
So when will the frivilous lawsuits die? We need a new fad...
Eh, you know, Apple will probably just settle. o.o
And my faith in humanity dwindles even more.
Well... I'd say the same as Unicron, but my faith in humanity is already falling faster than... er... faster than... uh... something... falling... really, really fast...
Stupid Calculus using up all my brain cells... x(
