1 cover class actions - plural - 3 class action lawsuits against apple from San Jose

 

Three new Class Action lawsuits were filed against Apple from San Jose, California yesterday. There have been 8 filed from San Jose alone since December 22, and 13 in total from Northern California collectively. The total of Class Actions filed against Apple on this one issue has now risen to 30.

 

The first of three cases filed against Apple yesterday was from Scott Grillo. At one point in the segment of the complaint titled 'Nature of the Action' Mr. Grillo stated: "On December 20, 2017, in response to widespread speculation about the impact of iOS 10 on iPhone performance, Apple confirmed users' long-held suspicions and finally admitted that its latest iOS software updates deliberately slowed the performance of iPhones.

 

The effect of Apple's actions was to 1) purposefully reduce device performance with time, and 2) deprive consumers of material information concerning the cause of the decline in performance of their iPhone.

 

Causes for Action

 

Count 1: Breach of Implied Contract

Count 2: Trespass to Chattel

Count 3: Breach of Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing

Count 4: Violation of California's Unfair Competition Law

Count 5: Violation of California's Consumers Legal Remedies Act
