Apple Is Being Sued Over the iPhone 'Touch Disease'
Apple Is Being Sued Over the iPhone 'Touch Disease'
Apple might have its hands full with Ireland and taxes, but another lawsuit has cropped up that it'll now need to face.Three iPhone owners have filed a lawsuit against Apple in the U.S. District Court for Northern California, alleging that Apple had kept a defect with its iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models a secret and subsequently declined to fix it.The problem relates to the recently revealed "Touch Disease," a term coined by hardware-repair firm iFixit to describe the bug plaguing both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.Last week, the company said in a blog post that it only appears to affect the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, but not Apple's newer iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.

Irritated iPhone 6 users sue Apple over 'touch disease' defect
Irritated iPhone 6 users sue Apple over 'touch disease' defect
Dozens of angry iPhone 6 users are posting complaints on Apple forums, claiming their expensive smartphones have succumbed to "touch disease," a flaw that makes the screens unresponsive and the devices useless.The iPhone owners are particularly upset because Apple will not fix or replace phones that are no longer under warranty without charging additional fees.The complaints started to appear more than a year ago, but they went mostly unnoticed until iFixit, a site that "tears down" devices to see what makes them tick, interviewed repair technicians who have repeatedly seen the problem.Just days after touch disease — as named by iFixit — made news in the blogosphere, Apple was hit with a related lawsuit, and the attorneys who filed it plan to make it a class action suit.

Apple's next iPhone, due for release on September 7, could come with wireless headphones, according to a leaked document.Rumours about the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus have consistently suggested that the upcoming Apple handsets will not have a 3.5mm headphone jack.Instead, the only port on the device will be the Lightning port, which is currently only used for charging.A recently leaked document that suggests Apple has created completely wireless headphones called "AirPods" appears to be confirmation that it has made the controversial decision to ditch the jack.
