Unlike the iPod battery lawsuit, which eventually led to an out-of-court settlement, this one has been thrown out of court. Jose Trujillo’s lawsuit claimed that Apple and AT&T did not notify him or other customers about potential battery limitations either before the phone’s launch or before it was purchased, using that as the basis for his suit. According to Bloomberg , U.S. District Judge Matthew F. Kennelly ...
