The last of the first wave of Class Action lawsuits filed against Apple since Friday over the issue of purposely slowing iPhones has now risen to nine. This last lawsuit was filed in San Francisco by Michael Hakimi. His lawsuit's introduction states the following:

"Plaintiff brings this action individually and on behalf of all similarly situated persons who purchased an iPhone 6, 6S, SE and 7 models ("Covered iPhones").

Apple has now conceded that it pushed out software updates to consumers' Covered iPhones that limit the speed and performance of these devices thereby causing significant slow performance , dropped calls, and excessive battery drain (the '·Defect"). But this was never II disclosed to its consumers.

As a result of Apple's conduct, millions of consumers may believe that the Covered iPhones have become obsolete and deceived into upgrading to the newest iPhone models – the iPhone 8 and/or i Phone X.

Hakimi's lists nine causes for their Class Action lawsuit, the most by any of the lawsuits to date, as follows:

01: Strict Products Liability

02: Negligence – Products Liability

03: Violation of the Consumers Legal Remedies Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1750 et seq.)

04: Unfair Competition (Bus. and Prof. Code § 17200 et seq.)

05: Breach of Express Warranty under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq.)

06: Breach of Express Warranty

07: Breach of the Implied Warranty of Merchantability

08: Breach of Implied Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose

09: Violation of California's False Advertising Laws

10: Fraud

11: Unjust Enrichment

Unlike some of the cases that we've covered recently, the Hakimi lawsuit doesn't list a dollar amount that they're seeking from Apple.
