A class action lawsuit accusing Apple of defrauding consumers because of the iPhone’s moisture protection was dismissed in court. It is reported by Reuters.
Two plaintiffs from New York State and one from South Carolina allege that Apple’s advertising misleads consumers about the waterproofing of the iPhone. A federal judge considered the arguments of the party, but ultimately dismissed the claim. According to him, the plaintiffs failed to provide plausible evidence.
Consumers have demanded that Apple stop advertising the waterproof feature in their smartphones, because, in their opinion, the information about waterproofing is not true. According to the plaintiffs, in this way the American IT giant introduces false arguments in order to inflate the cost of its iPhones.
District Judge Denise Cote said the consumer’s arguments sounded convincing, but he was unable to see any credible arguments from them. According to the judge, the plaintiffs were unable to confirm that their smartphones were damaged by contact with the liquid. Kote also found no evidence of fraud with the cost of the iPhone.
Lawyer for the plaintiffs, Spencer Sheehan, said his clients are disappointed by the decision but have no plans to appeal.
Earlier in the US, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Apple due to defective Powerbeats Pro headphones. The plaintiffs said that the headset has problems with charging and moisture protection.
