Apple slapped with class-action lawsuit over iPhone 6 'Touch Disease'

Apple slapped with class-action lawsuit over iPhone 6 'Touch Disease'

_The U.S.-wide class-action suit notes of Apple's lack of a suitable fix despite knowing of the problem, which, according to the plaintiff, is caused by a design defect with both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.Though many theories have been offered as to Touch Disease's origins over the past week, the lawsuit suggests that certain components lack a metal 'shield', where previous models were sufficiently reinforced.When the iPhone 6 line first launched, as you'll probably recall, there was the #Bendgate fiasco , where some users found the devices a little less sturdy than they'd hoped.While Apple played down the issue, the fact that Touch Disease is being attributed to inadequate support within the design suggests that Bendgate was not without substance.
