Apple iPhone Battery Lawsuit Dismissed
Apple can be the target of many lawsuits, some more justified than others. One widely reported lawsuit at the time of the iPhone's initial launch attempted to sue Apple over the iPhone's sealed battery, limited number of charge cycles and fee for battery replacement.
Bloomberg reports today that the lawsuit has been dismissed without a trial in a summary judgement.

"Apple disclosed on the outside of the iPhone package that the 'battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced by Apple service provider,'" Kennelly wrote in his Sept. 23 opinion, quoting the packaging. "Under the circumstances, no reasonable jury could find that deception occurred.''

Chalk one up for common sense! See, sometimes out legal system DOES work - most of the time it is co-opted by others for personal gain, but not this time! My hats off to this Judge for using his head! Refreshing - very refreshing.

A stupid lawsuit. While we might all like the outcome were such a lawsuit to win, no one can say it was actually justified.

And what would the outcome have been? Replaceable batteries? That would severely impact on the overall design of the phone, or made for a thicker device. I, for one, would NOT have liked that outcome.

In a year or two ,this dude would found half of his equipment at home having the same phrase on it. I don't like the internal battery (which s one of the two main cause why I didn't get one when I was in the States), but do you have to have lawsuit, c'mon, you simply don't know anything about portable electronic industry

Actually, kinda true. But being able to bring a spare on long trips would be nice, and most of Apple's devices are too thin as it is.
