Apple And AT&T Sued For Third Time Over iPhone Battery
Apple and AT&T have been sued for the third time for alleged iPhone battery flaw. Information Week reports.
"On Wednesday, attorneys for plaintiffs Zoltan Stiener and Ynez Stiener filed a class action complaint against Apple and AT&T in federal court in Oakland, Calif.
The lawsuit alleges breach of contract, fraud, and violations of California law. It charges the two companies with failing to inform iPhone purchasers that fees totaling more than $100 are required to replace iPhone batteries and to maintain service during battery replacement.
The iPhone's battery is designed so as not to be removable by consumers.
Apple maintains a Web page to educate consumers about how to prolong the life of the iPhone's battery. And the longevity of the battery was much written up by the press even prior to the phone's launch. "
