Another class-action lawsuits against Apple for misleading consumers about iPhone battery

Following in the footsteps of Sydney Leung a couple weeks ago, H. Tim Hoffman (Leung’s counsel) filed suit on behalf of Zoltan Stiener and Ynez Stiener in and Oakland, CA federal court. The two accuse Apple and AT&T of breach of contract, fraud, and violations of California law by not informing iPhone buyers that the device’s battery will cost $100 to replace during its lifetime (it does, but only if you take into account the cost of an iPhone loaner).
Just like all the other lawsuits in this same vein, the complaints are based on the fact that the iPhone’s battery will only last 300 charge cycles - after which, it will need to be replaced.
Good luck to these guys. We’re not sure how this’ll stand up in court, seeing as how Apple makes it clear that the iPhone battery will only lose a small percentage of its charge capacity after 300 complete charge cycles (not to mention the obviously litigious lawyer behind these suits).
