Lawsuit claims iPhone breaks Calif. Antitrust Laws

From Macworld
Timothy Smith has filed suit against Apple, alleging that the company has violated antitrust law with the iPhone. The Cartwright Act is what’s at question here — a California law that Smith’s attorney says Apple has broken because it prohibits iPhone users from using a cell phone service other than AT&T.

The suit is asking the court for an injunction against Apple to keep the company from selling the iPhone with any sort of software lock restricting its use only to AT&T’s wireless network. The suit is also asking to keep Apple from denying warranty coverage to iPhone users who have unlocked their devices.

The antitrust lawsuit is the latest legal challenge to Apple over the iPhone. Earlier this month a New York woman filed suit against Apple for its $200 iPhone price cut, claiming price discrimination, unfair and deceptive practices, and underselling.
