Apple has a class action lawsuit about the ‘antenneprobleem’ of the iPhone 4 suitable: Customers in the U.S. may be eligible for $ 15 or a new case. Apple brings customers via USA Today, Macworld, and e-mail.
“We find the settlement fair, adequate and reasonable,” said lawyer Ira Rothken against the site. The class action case included 18 different cases against Apple in which the indictment was that Apple information had been withheld and had wrongly shown, in particular, the antenna and the reception of the iPhone 4.
With the settlement brings an end to what in the media known as ‘antennagate’. After the release of the iPhone 4 was controversy about antenna problems where the device would be facing. In the ‘death grip’ should signal loss occur as a user with the hand or finger to the two metal antennas on the outside connects to.
Apple bagatelliseerde the problem initially, and referred to a similar loss of signal at competing devices, but the manufacturer has brought yet a software update, and also offered the previously, a bumpercase to customers, that the problem should resolve.
