San Francisco, February 6
A California firm has filed a new class action lawsuit against Apple for forcing owners of iOS devices to repeatedly buy new chargers by updating the iPhones with new requirements, the media reported.
The suit claims that thousands of iPhone owners in the US and other countries started experiencing issues with their older iPhones around November 2016 and there were claims that iPhones stopped recognising and accepting their chargers.
“Filed in the US District Court for the Central District of California, the lawsuit identifies Monica Emerson as the main plaintiff, with the suit filed ‘on behalf of all other members of the public similarly situated’,” an Apple Insider reported late on Tuesday.
“It is alleged Apple ‘forced updates to the iPhones which were specifically designed and programmed to reject’ old iPhone chargers,” the report added. — IANS
