Class-action suit filed against Apple because of the iPhone 4

Once problems involving the iPhone 4 started popping up and Apple started dragging their feet, you knew that the lawyers would become involved. And now, it appears that a class-action lawsuit has been filed against the Cupertino based firm. And a leaked internal Apple memo that tells employees how to hold the phone correctly to avoid connectivity problems could be the "smoking gun". The suit, filed in Maryland, has a long list of complaints, charging Apple and AT&T with General Negligence, Breach of implied warranty, Deceptive Trade Practices, Intentional and Negligent Misrepresentation and Fraud by concealment among others. Apple alone is being charged with Defect in Design, Manufacture and Assembly. This is just the beginning of what looks to be a big pay day for the lawyers. The entire complaint can be found at the source link. Don't expect a big pay day if you're an iPhone 4 owner. Usually, the members of the class-action end up with the short end of the stick.
