iPhone users calling for class action lawsuit over firmware v1.1.1

Filed under:

Angry with Apple over the absolute lockdown of the iPhone? You’re not alone. Angry enough to start a lawsuit over it? You’re probably in a far smaller group entirely, which now includes a number of rabble-rousers on Apple’s forums, whose comment threads were killed shortly after beginning discussions of calling for a class action suit against Apple. (Really though, what’d they expect?) There’s no question that users want some retribution for the sorry, sometimes even bricked state the iPhone’s now in, but big talk is infinitely smaller than even minor action, so until some brave (or publicity hungry) individuals step up to the plate to test legality of disabling hacked features on personal electronics, it sounds like we’ll all just have to be content with our $100 refunds or reduced-price purchases until this thing works itself out.
