Apple Class Action News Today

A federal judge allows Apple customers to pursue a class action accusing the company of monopolizing the market for iPhone apps by banning purchases outside its App Store, leading to higher prices. The class was narrowed to include only Apple account holders who spent $10 or more on app or in-app content. The judge rejects Apples bid to exclude testimony from two expert witnesses about how it may have harmed consumers.

Yesterday Christopher Bryan filed a Class Action against Apple Inc. for manufacturing the iPad mini which is knowingly defective with what has been coined the "Jelly Scroll Defect." The Plaintiff states in his complaint that "Due to the Defect, the iPad Mini bends, warps, blurs and obscures text and images rendering the Device unusable."
