The organization of lawsuits regarding the iPhone or iPad is corporate interference. Somebody at the competition is running bogus tests for consumers under the worst possible environment to come up with bogus claims. I have no doubt that these kinds of claims are generated for the sole purpose of making "headline" risks for Apple. If it creates any selling pressure, it becomes another buying opportunity like the antenna nonsense. Who takes their computer to the beach and hope it works?

It works great when they get people to post these stories on Apple threads every day. Are you a shill?

Three plaintiffs with fishing poles.

I think lawsuits are a great way to make people act reasonably but the looser should have to pay the winner up to as much as he the looser for legal fees.

That would end the frivolous suits.

>>Shuts down in direct sunlight, allege irked owners in complaint seeking class-action status<<

Hmmm. It's clear glass over a black surface. And you say it heats up in direct sunlight? Shocking!

I'm glad it's smart enough to shut itself down when it gets too hot. That prevents it from being damaged by anyone stupid enough to leave it lying around in the sun.

I was once dumb enough to leave my iPhone in my car. It was sitting on the seat, with the sun beating down on it directly, through the window. By the time I realized I had left it there, it had shut down. It was displaying a message about overheating.

I brought it inside, let it cool down for a while, and it was fine. I was happy about that automatic shutdown feature.
