Hardware manufacturer Apple Inc., has agreed to settle two class action lawsuits in Canada, by online store credits to buyers of some early-generation iPod devices that suffered from dwindling battery life.
The two leading plaintiffs, Ines Lenze and Bradley Waddell claimed that Apple had in the early iPods than eight misrepresented to hours of continuous battery life of ten. In reality, the device's potential battery life dwindled considerably after he repeatedly charged.
Once these settlements are completed, the first and second generation iPod owners whose battery life is decreased to less than five hours, and the third generation of owners whose battery life to less than four hours will be eligible for $ 44 , 75 credit card at the online store of Apple. The settlement offers are available to customers in Canada, their iPods purchased before 24th June 2004.
Courts in Ontario and Quebec are to approve the settlement next month, and Apple is probably in the hope the problem get out of the way before the start of his long-awaited iPhone device later this year.
iPod Apple settled a similar suit in the United States in 2005, the award of a credit of $ 50 or $ 25 in cash down to the owners, whose battery life was below a certain level.
