Despite Apple's strong attempts to just sweep this issue under the rug, a
handful of class-action lawsuits

already been filed over the widely publicized iPhone
4

issues.

There is a metal casing around the iPhone 4 that houses the device's
cellular and wireless antennas. Because that metal is exposed, it is easy
for users to grip the phone in such a way that it obstructs the signal and
cuts off or seriously reduces signal strength.
As the fastest-selling and arguably the most high-profile phone ever,
millions of people are scratching their heads over how Apple could have let
such a design flaw go through without any concern. That is the main point of
contention in the flurry of lawsuits.

One class-action lawsuit in Oakland, California already has 11 plaintiffs.
"The iPhone 4 manifests design and manufacturing defects that were known to
Defendants before it was released which were not disclosed to consumers,
namely, a connection problem caused by the iPhone 4's antenna configuration
that makes it difficult or impossible to maintain a connection to AT&T's
network."

The real catalyst that is pumping up these lawsuits, though, is the fact
that Apple has refused to consider this any sort of issue at all. The
lawsuit goes on to say, "Defendants have failed to provide customer support
to assist iPhone 4
customers<http://www.tgdaily.com/mobility-brief/50462-iphone-4-lawsuits-pop-up-let-the-games-begin#>regarding
this defect."

Plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages as well as an injunction that would
require Apple to "undertake an informational campaign" to let consumers know
about the iPhone 4's design defects.
