Apple threatened with lawsuit because iPhones are too expensive (no, really)

Another day, another (potential) lawsuit. Roberto de Jesus Escobar Gaviria, the brother of Narcos fame drug lord, Pablo Escobar, told Digital Trends that he will file a $30 billion class-action lawsuit on Jan. 6, 2020 in California, against Apple for accumulating illegal profits. 

In other words, he says the tech giant charges too much for iPhones. Gaviria says he believes that Apple has no right to sell phones at thousands of dollars when he can sell a foldable phone for $349.

Which, incidentally, is the cost of his new foldable smartphone, the Escobar Fold (pictured).

Well, good luck with that lawsuit, Roberto. You say you’ve already spent $1 million on lawyers to file the lawsuit. That’s money wasted.
