Apple iPhone 14 Pro needs a charging block for full functionality, according to a class action lawsuit filed in New York
In an age where technology reigns supreme, we rely heavily on our smartphones to keep us connected to the world around us. And Apple, one of the leaders in this digital realm, has never failed to astound us with its innovative devices. However, their business methods often come under scrutiny.
A recent class action lawsuit has unveiled a shocking truth - the iPhone 14 Pro, Apple's latest marvel, is sold without a crucial component - the charging block.
Plaintiff Montana Strong was among the many consumers who discovered this disturbing detail after buying the iPhone 14 Pro. She expected to find a charging block in the box, as anyone would. But she found a note in small print stating that the power adapter was sold separately.
Strong is not alone in this frustration. Many iPhone 14 Pro users have shared similar experiences, expressing their shock and disappointment. One buyer, a single mom from New York, shared, "I saved for months to buy this phone for my daughter's birthday. Imagine our surprise when we couldn't even turn it on because there was no charger."
The lawsuit raises questions about Apple's responsibility to its consumers. Is selling a device that cannot function without an additional purchase acceptable? As Strong points out, "Buyers of the iPhone 14 Pro expect it will come with a charging cable and plug because this is consistent with common trade practices in the sale of smartphones."
In a world where consumers are increasingly conscious about their purchasing power, this move by Apple seems to disregard customer satisfaction and value for money. A New York retiree who had to dip into his savings to buy the charger separately shared, "I thought I was paying for a complete product. I feel cheated."
As the lawsuit unfolds, it's crucial for us as consumers to question and challenge these practices. Because, after all, when you pay for a phone, you deserve the power to use it!
