From CNET:

A lawsuit filed Friday accuses Apple of lying about the display specs in its iPhone X series.

The suit alleges that Apple lied about the screen sizes by counting non-screen areas like the notch and corners. So the new line of iPhones aren't "all screen" as marketed, according to the 55-page complaint. For example, iPhone X's screen size is supposed to be 5.8 inches, but the plaintiffs measured that it's "only about 5.6875 inches."

The plaintiffs also allege that the iPhone X series phones have lower screen resolution than advertised. iPhone X is supposed to have a resolution of 2436x1125 pixels, but the product doesn't contain true pixels with red, green and blue subpixels in each pixel, according to the complaint. iPhone X allegedly only has two subpixels per pixel, which is less than advertised, the complaint said. The lawsuit also alleges iPhone 8 has a higher-quality screen than iPhone X.

Lol. Is this the lady who sued cuz she didn’t know the phone had a notch? They use a black background and hide it online

 

[Cunth]

Nice hustle, dumbarse

This is some serious nitpicking. But it's that kind of nitpicking where you think, "you're the only one who would find that."

That's pretty solid. Decent chance of winning that one. Reminds me of the debacle concerning food containers with inaccurate measures. That's why they all go over the weight indicated on the box/tin/product sheet.

As much as I would like to call it nitpicking, the lawsuit atleast has some weight to it regarding that pixel thing. That is if they can prove it.

Yeah, can't deny that. It would be good because otherwise that is pretty insulting.

Apple Engineer #1: Hey, these suckers don't check, so we're going to save a couple bucks per phone on resolution and act cool about it

Lead Engineer: Oh yeah, solid.

Yes because such things are usually pretty hard to spot.

I guess if I paid that much money for something and it didn't hold up, yeah.

I mean technically it is false advertising.

At least someone out there is saying something about it. We keep letting large corporations bend the truth and eventually the yearly upgrades will be just different ways of marketing the same outdated product.

I am happy with my iPhone X, but I also want Apple to be in check.

Must be Hardcore Android fan who had spotted that since Apple fans didn't really know how that works.
