Apple Hit With Yet Another Class Action Lawsuit, This Time Over the iPhone 4’s Glass

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated November 12, 2019

Another day, another frivolous lawsuit originating out of California. This time, the plaintiff is L.A. County resident Donald LeBuhn, who filed the lawsuit in earlier in the week.

This certainly isn't the first class action suit that's been filed against Apple recently, but it probably tops the list as being the most ridiculous.

In the suit, LeBuhn claims that Apple hid the fact that day-to-day use of the iPhone 4 would eventually lead to cracked glass.

Well, if normal day-to-day use entails dropping your iPhone on concrete surfaces, you might just be right...

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated December 17, 2017

If you're already a loyal Verizon customer and are interested in the iPhone 4, the good news is that Big Red has a special allotment set aside for users wishing to upgrade. For those of you interested in switching to Verizon for the iPhone, things get a tad more hairy.

Just look at the situation. The only concrete plans that Verizon has released thus far, is the fact that they are taking pre-orders for existing customers. Outside of that, information has been slow to come out about how Verizon plans to handle the demand on what is sure to be a limited supply of inventory.

Recent commentary from Verizon chief operating officer Lowell McAdam suggests that even he isn't exactly sure how the official launch will pan out on February 10th. So if you're a new customer wishing to snag an iPhone at launch, you probably have your work cut out for you...

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated October 10, 2018

Matt Gallagher -- the creator of StreamToMe -- is always on top of his game when it comes to app updates. Thus, the reason for StreamToMe's iOS 4.3-compatible App Store update could all be owed to his proactive nature.

Or it could be that iOS 4.3 is really just that close to an official deployment and release.

Why is this good news? Not only will it allow 3rd party apps to utilize AirPlay, which is awesome, it also provides promise for those waiting for an iPhone 4 unlock...

Need More Evidence That the White iPhone 4 is Right Around the Corner?

Jeff Benjamin ∙ January 24, 2011

We've heard numerous reports, claims, and rumors about the white iPhone 4's inevitable release, but nothing ever panned out. Recently, however, the tide seems to be turning and the rumors are looking a lot more credible.

You no doubt read our report on Best Buy's inventory system, which lists Apple's mythical product as being due in late February. Now another important Apple partner is giving the white iPhone rumors signs of life.

The latest partner to re-list the white iPhone 4 is none other than AT&T. If that doesn't lend credence to the rumor, then nothing will...

Best Frienemies Verizon and AT&T Featured in iPhone 4 Commercial

Jeff Benjamin ∙ January 23, 2011

Fierce rivals AT&T and Verizon were featured in a commercial together to prove the point that two is better than one. If one didn't know the backstory, it would almost appear that the two rival networks were cool with each other.

Only a company like Apple could pull something like this off. Can you imagine any other phone warranting a commercial that includes a cameo from two competing networks like AT&T and Verizon? I don't think so.

Check inside for the full commercial...

Alex Heath ∙ January 21, 2011

Verizon has launched full swing into its iPhone ad campaign with a new broadcast commercial. Just in case you've been under a rock lately, the Verizon iPhone has finally arrived and is available on February 10.

The Verizon iPhone is going to be huge, and this commercial definitely plays it up. The 30 second tease is even perhaps a little too dramatic, but I guess when you've been waiting as long as Verizon, you deserve a little room for hyperbole...

iFixit Begins Offering ‘iPhone 4 Liberation Kit’ to Tackle Apple’s Pesky Proprietary Screws

Jeff Benjamin ∙ January 20, 2011

It's clear that Apple doesn't want folks fooling around with their iPhone's physical hardware, as the recently dubbed 'Pentalobular' screws that may rest on the bottom of your iPhone 4 prove.

Recently, Apple has switched over to an all-new screw set for the iPhone 4, similar to the screws that grace the battery covers of the older MacBook Pros, and current MacBook Air.

If you've owned an iPhone 4 for quite some time, then chances are you still have the normal Phillips screw set, but if you've just stepped into the game, you might want to give this a read...
