LA Weekly is reporting that Apple is now facing a class-action lawsuit over the their decision to use glass on both sides of the devices, thus the device’s tendency to be more damage prone than other devices in it’s category.
Apparently fed up and pissed off, California resident Donald LeBuhn filed a class action lawsuit earlier this week in L.A. County against Apple, claiming the company knows about the design flaw and refuses to warn consumers that “normal” use leads essentially to a broken phone.
According to his lawsuit, first reported by Courthouse News Service, LeBuhn threw down $252 in September for a new iPhone 4, but three weeks later the glass broke when his daughter accidentally dropped it approximately three feet to the ground while sending a text message.
He previously owned a 3GS version of the iPhone and claims the glass did not break when accidentally dropped from similar heights.
Mr. LeBuhn goes on to site Apple’s marketing terms, specifically the “20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic” line, which he is claiming is fraudulent.
Good luck Mr. LeBuhn, but this strikes me as frivolous at best. His arguments are all based on a hypothetical. I’m no lawyer, but it seems he has nothing he can prove. My simple answer to him, is to stop dropping you phone sir.
