Apple Computer Inc was named in a class action lawsuit over the alleged defects in its Iphone4.  This is one of multiple nationwide suits wherein consumers claim that Apple misrepresented and concealed material information in the marketing, advertising, sale and servicing of its iPhone4 particularly as it relates to the quality of the mobile phone antenna and reception and related software.

The iPhone4s were marketed, advertised and sold as high quality smart phone products designed to meet consumer and business requirements and during the relevant period were among the most expensive consumer mobile phones sold. The iPhone4s were sold as powerful, full-featured mobile phones with a high quality redesigned case and antennae, high quality voice communications over the AT&T mobile network, wireless email, text messaging, web browsing and hundreds of applications available for download. The mobile phone case and antenna design is defective. The case and antenna design has led to a substantial degradation in signal quality and dropped calls when the phone is used in a normal and foreseeable fashion by users. Related "mobile reception" software provides users with a misleading manifestation of the quality of the mobile signal it its display of the number of "bars" and fails to optimize the antenna reception.
