Company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), was sued because of an existing bug in the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S at the time of the launch of the two terminals and a period of time after, causing financial losses for users in the USA.
Specifically, the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S had a bug that disables Wi-Fi connectivity for users when browsing the Internet and switches the Internet connection to LTE, data, without notifying users beforehand, even if that Wi-Fi connection she was strong.
The problem was recognized by the Verizon phone operator in the US and the Apple company released an update to solve it, but those from AT&T did not recognize its existence and did not solve the problem, even when the iPhone 5S was launched on the US market.
Practically, this bug was active for over 1 year for the customers of the mobile phone operator AT&T and Apple knew this, and now the American company is being sued by the users who are angry that they were forced to pay additional costs for using the Internet.
We believe Apple should not have withheld this repair for AT&T Wireless subscribers for any period of time. By withholding this information and repair, consumers were unaware of the defect and were left to sort out high cellular data charges with their wireless carriers.
The problem appeared for customers when they were doing high data traffic for 10-20 minutes, and the long period of time in which the problem was active and unresolved suggests that everything was done in bad faith by Apple and those at AT&T.
Despite this, without extremely clear evidence, the bad will of those from Cupertino and AT&T will be extremely difficult to prove and the process has very little chance of being won by the plaintiffs.
