Last week, iFixit published a blog post that brought to light an issue that is plaguing a growing number of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users. They called it “Touch Disease.” But whatever you call it, it is a hardware problem causes iPhone displays to become unresponsive and feature a thin gray flickering line along the top. At the time that I posted, I figured it would not be long before someone sued over this. Sure enough, three people have via a class action lawsuit:
Thomas Davidson of Pennsylvania, Todd Cleary of California, and Jun Bai of Delaware have filed a class action lawsuit against Apple over an alleged defect that causes iPhone 6and iPhone 6 Plus touchscreens to become unresponsive and fail, according to court documents filed electronically this week.
The class action complaint, filed with the U.S. District Court for Northern California, accuses Apple of violating California’s consumer fraud statutes, through fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of implied warranty, unjust enrichment, and for violations of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.
Now, iFixit argues that every iPhone 6 are “ticking time bombs” when it comes to this so this might be a serious problem for Apple, as well as bad press that they really don’t need seeing as they’re about to launch the new iPhone on September 7th. We’ll see if that’s true or not in court shortly.
