LA Weekly is reporting that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Apple over the glass breakage on the iPhone 4. This stems from “Glassgate” that has judged the iPhone 4 to be more “brittle” than other smartphones or previous iPhone models because of the glass on the front and back.
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.
According to LeBuhn, these claims are misleading at best, and his suit seeks full refunds for customers covered by the class action suit and reimbursement for any repairs made.Verizon iPhone, iPhone news, White iPhone 4, iPhone 4 news, iphone 4 accessories, ipad news, ipad accessories, iphone 5, apple, macbook, iphone problems
