• Class action can proceed over “locked” iPhones Tuesday, July 13, 2010

    Associated Press:  A federal judge in San Jose said a lawsuit over Apple‘s practice of “locking” iPhones so they can be used only on AT&T‘s wireless network can proceed as a class action.  According to this report, the lawsuit says “Apple secretly made AT&T its exclusive iPhone partner in the U.S. for five years.  Consumers agreed to two-year contracts with the Dallas-based wireless carrier when they purchased their phones, but were in effect locked into a five-year relationship with AT&T.”
