The first lawsuit against Apple’s IPhone has been filed.
DailyTech reports
One iPhone customer wasn’t happy at all with the iPhone’s battery life or the two alternatives to replacing a defective battery and filed a class-action lawsuit against Apple as a result. In the suit, Jose Trujillo claims that:Unknown to the Plaintiff, and undisclosed to the public, prior to purchase, the iPhone is a sealed unit with its battery soldered on the inside of the device so that it cannot be changed by the owner.
The suit goes on state:
The battery enclosed in the iPhone can only be charged approximately 300 times before it will be in need of replacement, necessitating a new battery annually for owners of the iPhone.
Gizmodo has the complete story and a page by page softcopy of the report which was filed.
But don’t run over to read it, I guess that soon enough it is going to be thrown out of the courts because both the points are going to dismissed. Apple had made it public that the battery was going to be sealed, and that even after charging it over 400 times, it would retain 80% of its capacity.
That’s Good Enough I guess.
