Man Files Class Action Lawsuit Over Apple’s Mass Bricking Of Unlocked iPhones

imageEven after multiple warnings from Apple themselves, even after iTunes warned you in big bold font and even after being warned once more from Bloggers and those who had the audacity to challenge Apple’s might, there were some who went through with in updating their iPhones to 1.1.1 and were shocked by the results.

Damian Fernández is one such person who despite multiple warnings, updated his unlocked iPhone to 1.1.1 and found that his device was bricked. Needless to say he’s seeking damages which have yet to be undetermined and is blasting Apple in the lawsuit over their strict control in how the iPhone is locked down to AT&T in the US.

However, as bad as this may be, you have to consider the warnings given before hand, I don’t have much pity for this man considering the progress made in restoring bricked phones.  At best he’d get his legal fees paid for and get his iPhone replaced. If he really wanted to take some action, he’d give the FCC or EFF a call as they’d have more power than filing a class action lawsuit.

  1. It is not about the phone. It is about stealing money with lawyers.  He knew this would happen, he saw an opportunity to use a filthy lawyer to win the lottery.

  2. Some people just can’t go out and make money the right way, instead they have to try and take money from honest companies for stupid reasons.  I think when you bring up a stupid suit like all the ones brought against Apple recently, if you lose you should have to pay half of what you are suing for to the company.  This would stop a lot of the idiots from bringing cases in order to get some free money.

  3. Why don’t you get your facts straight? Damian Fernandez is the LAWYER who is filing the suit - not the client who’s iphone was “bricked”.
    I should know. I’m Damian’s girlfriend.
    For everyone else, try reading the lawsuit so you can understand what you’re talking about.
