Woman Sues Over Apple's iPhone Price Cut


Recommended Posts

this women is a complete idiot....first she's an idiot for rushing out and spending 500.00...then she became more of an idiot because they ran out of the 8g model...so she just had to have an iPhone and got the 4g model...now shes a total idiot for thinking she can sue...whats next...this moron going to sue General Motors because the price of a car gone up since 1943 prices.

Where in the article does it state that they ran out of the 8GB model? From what I understand she made the choice to buy the 4GB model. Maybe the 8GB was to expensive at the time for her (yeah I know that's stupid, but we don't know her excuse, so we can't assume they ran out of 8GB models when the article doesn't say they did).

I'm looking for the News Article...but it said they ran out of the 8g model while she was waiting and decided to get the 4g model....it also said..she was upset first, because of the 8g price cut...but now that she's a total idiot and got the 4g because she couldn't wait...im sure the lawyer is making her say...she ALWAYS (all her life) wanted ONLY the 4g...what a joke.

never rely on just one article for facts.....LOL...your dealing with the 'Press'..they are in the same catagory as Ambulance Chasing Lawyers.

You do realize that there are 300,000,000+ Americans, right? I'd say the % of people who actually sue someone or a company is pretty small. The only reason we hear about it is because of the amount of news coverage and how fast news travels these days.

That and the fact that America is built on the dream of getting rich quick. What better way to do it than sue someone? But don't say typical American. Not everyone, in fact most probably don't, go sue happy.

You're wrong. United States of America is the country that sues more than any other country in the world by a great difference. Believe me, you barely BARELY see things like this happening in other countries, I've lived in 4 different countries. When it comes to the USA, some stuff gets reeeaaaaal freaky. :)

Umm... maybe I missed something, but did I say it happens a lot in other countries? Did I say it didn't happen a lot here? I believe what I said was that based on how many people who live in this country, the actual % of people who are sue happy is low.

Do you know anyone personally that has ever sued anyone? Besides myself, I don't know anyone personally who has ever sued anyone.

Wow... yeah, I have one and love it. Have you tried one? Calling her a moron for buying it also calls me and anyone on this board who bought one a moron. :rolleyes:

No, s/he said she is a moron.

Personally I don't understand why people need cell phones anyways.

Waste of money.

Their choice not mine, the woman is still a moron and if she wishes to sue me then bring it on.

Moron for buying new stuff, It's always overpriced at first.

Of course it is. But someone has to buy the product for it to survive. That's the cost of being an early adopter. I knew that when I bought it, which is why I don't care that Apple lowered the price only two months after releasing it. That's risk early adopters take. But if there are no early adopters, then the product goes away or nothing new ends up coming to the product. I don't think she's a moron for being an early adopter, I think she's a moron for complaining about it.

That's the cost of being an early adopter.

Buy something at a premium knowing there will be a negative impact (bugs, price reductions) - just to be the first?

But if there are no early adopters, then the product goes away or nothing new ends up coming to the product.

The then product was a fad.

To me - early adopters pay a premium to be glorified testers. So many products are released to the market before they have bugs ironed out. I used to always be an early adopter, and now see that was rather moronic of me.

But then again, it's all down to the finances and priorities of the individual.

Way more then 300 million americans... since you have to include canada and mexico in that... they are "Americans" too technically... now if you mean the USA then that is different... I don't really like when people use the generic term americans... which is a ton more people then just the USA..

People from America call themselves American. People from Mexico call themselves Mexican. Guess what people from Canada call themselves...? Please don't act as if you are correcting a mistake based on something that only you find objectionable. In all MY travels, I have never heard anyone refer to the people of Peru as any sort of American...

South American.

Anyone who lives in the American continent, even us on the Caribbean, are Americans.

"Gringos" are the ones who live in the USA. Now, the correct word for "gringo"? That one I don't know.

Maybe she will win...

If she has good lawyers, maybe she will...and then everyone here will be crazy ehehhe

Chill out, she has the liberty of suing whoever she wants, its her option, so we have to respect her action on having all this trouble facing a big company like Apple.

She has her "balls" and i respect that, if all would do like her, maybe companys that make cheap gadgets dont try to sell them and big prices, and when they see its not selling they drop the price leaving many , furious.

Hope she wins

Wha...?

She's to be respected for filing frivolous lawsuits?

Everyone needs to be respected, and maybe she will open a precendent in the law and make firms stick to certian price rules, they cant play around with prices with big cuts like this one.

Hey i dont own an iphone , just giving my oppinion. There are rules protecting the consumer why cant be one more? I think everyone would be gratefull.

If Apple covers costs and have revenues selling this new price why they started with the 600$ on start?

Its playing fools of us if you ask me....

Cheers

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
