Third Lawsuit Regarding #KeyboardGate Filed Against Apple
Apple has 99 problems and #KeyboardGate one of them.
On top of the bad press and two other lawsuits being filed, comes a third just before the keynote for the Apple World Wide Developer’s conference.

Fraudulent concealment is when a company deliberately hides a material fact with the intention of deceiving or defrauding someone. In this case, the allegation is that Apple was aware the keyboard design was faulty, and deliberately hid that fact from consumers so that they would purchase the machines.
So, with three lawsuits, there’s likely going to be others to come. Hopefully for the sake of Apple, they have a plan to deal with this. Because this is not starting to look good for them.
