The 50th Class Action against Apple comes from Fort Lauderdale over 'Fraudulently Omitting' information about Purposely Slowing iPhones
The good news is that new Class Actions against Apple are coming in at a trickle at this point in time. The bad news is that two more class actions have been filed making the official count of class actions rise to an even 50 with 5 foreign lawsuits pending.
The first lawsuit is from Alex Sens of Fort Lauderdale Florida. Mr. Sens notes in this filing that "Apple also purposefully concealed, fraudulently omitted and/or failed to warn or disclose to owners of the Affected Devices that another contributor to the slowing of their phone performance is and/or was the continued chemical aging of their original and now degraded batteries, and that a battery replacement in older iPhone and iPad models could serve as a better remedy to the problem of phone shutdowns and degraded performance without the further slowing and interfering with performance that the iOS updates have caused."
Causes of Action
Count 1: FRAUDULENT CONCEALMENT
Count 2: BREACH OF IMPLIED CONTRACT
Count 3: VIOLATION OF FLORIDA'S UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES ACT
