Class Action #25 against Apple for Purposely Slowing iPhones was filed in Missouri, with 4 Additional Foreign Filings on the way
Cynthia Chapel has filed Class Action #25 against Apple for purposely slowing iPhones in the Jefferson City, Missouri. Chapel notes in her formal complaint in-part that " In the modern digital age, batteries 'ear' over time. The lithium-ion battery used by Apple slowly diminishes its ability to hold a charge with time and use. However, normal lithium- ion battery wear does not reduce performance; a weakening battery has no effect on performance unless there is software that links the two. And that is precisely what Apple did here."
Cause for Action
Count 1: VIOLATION OF THE MISSOURI MERCHANDISING PRACTICES ACT
Count 2: TRESPASS TO CHATTELS
Count 3: BREACH OF COVENANT OF GOOD FAITH AND FAIR DEALING
