An early iPhone adopter filed a lawsuit against Apple in federal court, alleging an unusual series of claims

Dongmei Li charges, in part, that the company's subsequent decision to reduce the iPhone's price “hurt early purchasers' competition with Apple because they cannot resell it for as high a profit” and that the company’s "unreasonably low price hurt competition between early and later pruchasers” who want to "resell for as a high profit as they" can.

Another unusual claim made by the consumer is her allegation that "[m]arket conditions did not require Apple to change its [iPhone] price."
