Apple Facing Class-Action Suits over iPhone Locking
Class Action News
[##_1L|1332181999.jpg|width="200" height="150" alt=""|_##]Apple has released a new update for the iPhone that turns it into a brick if the user runs the hack software on it that allows it to be used on any network. This of course has not pleased many users. They feel that they have bought the iPhone and have the right to use it on any network that they choose and maybe they are not pleased with AT&T and with to use another service. But this new Apple update denies their "right" to do so.
At least that's the claim of the users that have banded together to explore the possibility of a claim against Apple over their latest move to protect what it believes is it's legal right to keep its iPhone linked to AT&T. On Apple's iPhone discussion forums, a poster suggested this past weekend that a class-actions suit could be a possible action against Apple. The poster is seeking other like-minded people to join in his action or at least testing the water.
Others have posted that now that they have been warned about the update, they have no excuse. One poster stated that by taking their shiny new iPhone and knowingly messing with the warranty with some third-party software and turning it into a shiny new brick deserves no sympathy. They further point out that those who purchase the iPhone do so knowing that the only carrier is AT&T and should accept that or just not buy the phone.
