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.

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.
 
i hope you die for hoping she wins. people can't just sue big companies for bullshit reasons, and win.
 
This country is going to shit. I mean, everyone is so sue happy! WTF, go make your own money and stop suein people! Some stupid girl sued me for a $150 mini fridge that she bought me for my bday last year then I would not date her and she sued me! WTF
 
It may not be a legally legit reason but you would be pissed too if you bought the first 4g model.

I see this as bad buisseness practice, just like M$ releasing 5000000 models of Xbox 360.
 
I think it is racist that you have a white dwarf in your icon istead of a black dwarf. Prepare to go to jail.
 
id be pissed too but i wouldnt sue for it, and its just like people sueing mc donalds because they dont have self control and eat so that they are huge
 
If she wins I'm going to sue motorola because my cell stopped working after  I dropped it into water and my life was damaged for a few days while I obtained a new phone. think I could squeeze a few hundred Gs out of that?
 
thats retarted it is her fault for buying it early what do you think they are going to raise the price after you buy it.
 
america's wonderful judicial system is used in the wrong way time and time again. there should be a committee that reviews each filed suit and consider whether or not it's total bullshit. it is my personal belief that if this committee existed and reviewed this case, that each committee member would personal kick this woman's ass.

what a whore, half of the reduction was basically given back to her. if $200 was that important to her, she probably shouldn't have purchased an iphone in the first place, dumb bitch.
