Class Action Lawsuit Over the iPhone 4′s Glass hits Apple

L.A. County resident Donald LeBuhn has filed a lawsuit against Apple. This is not the first class action suit that’s been filed against Apple.
In the suit, LeBuhn claims that Apple hid the fact that day-to-day use of the iPhone 4 would eventually lead to cracked glass. LeBuhn became indignant with Apple when his daughter dropped his newly purchased iPhone 4 from an approximate height of three feet.
The iPhone 4 features glass on both the front and the back, making it more susceptible to breakage. According to a report by Per SquareTrade:

• iPhone 4 owners reported 82% more damaged screens in the first 4 months compared to iPhone 3GS owners;
• Overall, the reported accident rate for iPhone 4 was 68% higher than for the iPhone 3GS;
• An estimated 15.5% of iPhone 4 owners will have an accident within a year of buying their phone.

The suit goes on to add that “months after selling millions of iPhone 4s, Apple has failed to warn and continues to sell this product with no warning to customers that the glass housing is defective.”
