Another day, another lawsuit. Apple has been hit with a new class action lawsuit alleging its deliberately misled buyers by using a 2×2 MIMO antenna array in the iPhone XR while knowing it was “inferior” and “defective” compared to the 4×4 MIMO setup in the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, reports AppleInsider.
The first lawsuit was filed on April 6. Filed with the US District Court for the Northern District of California, the new complaint says Apple has “breached its express and implied warranties.
The complaint says: “Apple knew or should have known that it was selling an inferior product, yet Apple failed to disclose the iPhone XR’s defect to consumers who reasonably expected the latest Apple product to have the most advanced technology. Apple further warrants that the iPhone XR’s technology is free of defects, but the 2×2 MIMO antenna array has a defective connectivity system. Apple continues to profit from the sale of iPhone XRs with inferior technology to consumers who expect the latest and best technology from the latest iPhones.
The plaintiffs are seeking monetary compensation, legal fees, and “an order enjoining Apple from further deceptive and unfair business practices.”
