July 30, 2007 at 16:53Apple will be responsible for the iPhone battery in court
According to Apple, the "life" of the iPhone battery is approximately 400 charges. After that, the battery capacity is reduced by 20% (and possibly more). The PC Magazine merrymakers have already mocked the iPhone, asking them to find out the exact deadline for the “death” of their beloved device. But, jokes as jokes, and dissatisfaction with such a short battery life can cause not a comic trial.
U.S. resident Jose Trujillo initiated a lawsuit against Apple, saying that in fact the iPhone battery can withstand no more than 300 recharge cycles, which implies its replacement almost once a year. Considering the conditions for replacing the rechargeable batteries of iPhone mobile phones ($ 79 for the battery, $ 7 for delivering the device to the service center and back, plus loss when replacing all the data on the phone), the lawsuit does not look stupid. In addition, Trujillo is also dissatisfied with the fact that the iPhone battery cannot be replaced manually, as a result of which, for the duration of the mobile phone’s stay in the service center, its owners will either be left without a phone or look for an alternative.
Whether Trujillo will receive the compensation they require from Apple in the amount of $ 75 thousand is not known, as well as whether, however, the initiator will be able to win the case in principle. But the fact that Apple is really smart with the process of changing the battery is clear right now. $ 86, data loss (which means that the trouble is preliminary with backup) and a weekly (at best) wait - this is somehow too much.
