The 1st Class-Action suit for iPhone. The guy claims

Trujillo, hopefuly not related to the former Dominican dictator, claims that he didn't know that the battery is a "sealed unit with it's [sic] battery soldered inside" and that:

The battery enclosed in the iPhone can only be charged approximately 300 times before it will be in need of replacement, necessitating a new battery annually for owners of the iPhone.

The whole world knew that the iPhone had a sealed battery except this guy?

As for the life cycle of the battery here's what it says on the apple site -

Charge Cycles
A properly maintained iPhone battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 400 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.

Yip, just thought it was funny and this guys lawyer doesn't seemed to be the sharpest knive in the drawer either
Eish, why doesn't the guy try and earn his money in a more respectable way.

Any hint (or non-hint) of an oppurtunity to sew (sue??) ... they go for it.

Its all fooked up.

Surely they have a disclaimer similar to to the windows one that specifically states that they can only be liable for an amount up to the cost of the unit? ie. The best he will ever get is his money back. Minus lawyers fees of course.
