iPhone owner suing Apple over non-replaceable battery issue

One iPhone owner has apparently not been reading the countless articles and official documents that stated that the iPhone's battery would not be user-replaceable, and is now filing a lawsuit against Apple.

Despite the iPhone being a "revolutionary new mobile phone" with "high technology", the plaintiff was not made aware that the iPhone was a sealed unit. Jose Trujillo also believes that the battery can only be charged 300 times before it needs replacing, even though this claim is totally false.

Now, we can all moan and whine that Apple — just as it saw fit to do with its iPods — chose not to allow its battery to be replaced. Filing a lawsuit, though, is plain ridiculous.

About as stupid as suing Apple for YouTube infringement.

As Ars Technica concludes:

It's hard to imagine any court taking this case seriously, since all the information regarding the iPhone and its battery was published at the time the iPhone went on sale, even if it was not readily apparent to Mr. Trujillo. However, this is America, land of the free and litigious, so you never know.

Indeed
