Case Name: Welcome to the Home Page of the In re Apple iPhone/iPod touch Warranty Litigation,
Case No. 3:10-cv-01610-RS
Case Summary:

Plaintiffs allege that Apple would not provide warranty coverage to iPhone and iPod Touch owners whose units indicated liquid damage (liquid contact indicator or liquid submersion indicator (seen through headphone jack or dock connector) turned pink/red). They contend that the indicator can be triggered by humidity, and even if the unit was exposed to liquid this may not be the cause of the specific malfunction that the customer was experiencing. Apple denies the allegation. Before the case was decided, the two parties agreed to settle the case.
