Description du groupe qui intente l'action :

A. NATURE OF THE ACTION 1. APPLICANT and the Class bring this action against the RESPONDENTS for deceptive trade practices and false advertising in violation of civil, contractual and consumer laws in a matter commonly known to the general public as “planned or built-in obsolescence”. 2. APPLICANT and other owners of the iPhone 5 and 6 were harmed when their devices’ software was updated to the newest versions of iOS10 and iOS11 or later versions of iOS (thereafter “iOS”). 3. The update significantly slowed down their iPhones and interfered with the normal usage of the device, leaving APPLICANT and other owners of the iPhone 5 and 6 with a difficult choice: use a slow and buggy device that disrupts everyday life or spend hundreds of dollars to buy a new phone. 4. RESPONDENTS explicitly represented to the public that iOS is compatible with and supports the iPhone 5 and 6 and RESPONDENTS failed to warn iPhone 5 and 6 owners that the update may or will significantly interfere with the device’s performance. 5. Furthermore RESPONDENTS do not warn APPLICANT and other owners of the iPhone 5 and 6 that the iOS software update is practically irreversible and does not allow iPhone owners to revert their previous iOS; B. PARTIES 6. APPLICANT is a Montreal resident who lives in Quebec, Canada; 7. All residents in Canada who currently own or have previously owned a I-Phone 5 and 6 or any other group to be determined by the Court; 8. Alternately (or as a subclass) all residents in Quebec who currently own or have previously owned a I-Phone 5 and 6 or any other group to be determined by the Court;
