Apple goes to court again, as
Los Angeles law firm Kabateck Brown Kellner LLP filed a suit against the
Cupertino-based company for deceptively marketing the 20-inch iMac. The lawsuit,
which was filed in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California in
San Jose, says iMac customers have been deliberately let to believe that the
iMac monitors were superior to previous generations and were capable of “millions
of colors” display.
The infamous monitors of 20 and
24-inch, which were unveiled in August last year, were supposed to display “millions
of colors at all resolutions” when in fact they were only capable of a 262,144-color
display. Kabatech Brown Kellner LLP said in its lawsuit that Apple is taking
advantage of its customers by promising one thing and offering something else.
The lawsuit also referred to the
fact that Apple has been promoting its latest generation of monitors as far
superior to older ones, when in fact they were actually inferior to them: “Apple
is duping its customers into thinking they’re buying ‘new and improved’ when in
fact they’re getting stuck with ‘new and inferior,’ “said
Brian Kabatech, Managing Partner at the law firm.
Apple was also accused of trying
to play “the good guy” when in fact what they do is deceive customers, the
lawsuit said. The Cupertino-based company is accused of putting profits beyond
customer satisfaction: “Our goal is to help those customers who were deceived and
make sure Apple tells the truth in the future,” the law firm said.
Kabatech Brown Keller LLP is
known for its lawsuits against big names in the United States, against which
they’ve managed to win hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements on behalf
of their customers. Apple refused to make any comments on the litigation.
