Apple might be forced to pay another fine for an iPhone user, named Robert, who is reportedly seeking a class-action lawsuit after his smartphone (iPhone 6) exploded in his face 2 years ago.
The lawsuit was filed with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas this week, as per the reports. The lawsuit claims that the iPhone 6 has a defective battery “which makes it unable to reliably perform its function”.
In a statement, the lawsuit mentions that,
Robert Franklin was listening to music on his iPhone 6 when he noticed the music playing on his iPhone began to skip. As he picked up his iPhone to investigate, [it] suddenly exploded and caught fire in his face
He also sustained injuries to his eyes and wrist as a result of the incident. If certified, there’ll be a proper jury trial for damages, incidental damages for replacement devices, and attorneys’ fees and court costs.
