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

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
