iPhone Fans in San Jose seem to be Really Angry at Apple, as Class Action #24 marks the 3rd Filing made from there on Friday
It would appear that San Jose is really angry at Apple as the third Class Action filed against Apple from that city is Amanda Holman. In her filing she notes that "Instead of disclosing to unsuspecting consumers that replacing the iPhone battery would restore your iPhone's performance speed and functionality, Apple secretly chose to cripple the performance speed of the Subject iPhones."
Causes for Action
Count 1: Violation of the Consumers Legal Remedies Act – Civil Code §§1750, et seq.
Count 2: Violation of Business & Professions Code §§17200, et seq.
Count 3: Trespass to Chattels
Amanda Holman's Class Action is demanding $5 million as noted in the graphic below of the Court's docket. It's a little baffling why the amount demanded is so low. If 30 million users are affected, for example, it would work out to $6 each or a large coffee and donut. Then again, perhaps it's just for those angry Apple fans in San Jose (ha!).
