Most of these class actions are thrown out. So will this one. My magic eight-ball says so.
Exactly. The only ones winning in these are lawyers who collect a $2k retainer from a couple hundred idiots who think they have a chance for a huge settlement.
Lawyers and Ads are the bain of society.
Spoken like someone who has no idea what the purpose of class action lawsuits are -- not to put money in the pockets of "a couple hundred idiots who think they have a chance for a huge settlement", but to punish the corporation financially.

Wrong. Class action is to enrich lawyers. The govt can sue to punish corporations.
"Many other iPhone owners have communicated with Apple's employees..."
Many is an opinion. Many could be a dozen or a bilion. Stupid lawyer talk not giving specifics.
"AppleInsider recently estimated that 11 percent of Apple's retail iPhone troubleshooting may now involve the problem" based on 4 stores, and 1 week of data. Talk about weak
I have no problem believing it's 11%. After all these are phones people are bringing into a Apple store because they have some type of problem. That in no way means that it's 11% total from all iPhone 6 and 6+ phones sold. That would be huge of course. 11% is just people from a group of people going into a Apple store with a issue. Out of all the phones sold, the percentage BAD may only be something like .5%. My iPhone 6 is just fine. I haven't been into a Apple store for a iPhone problem. So if I'm not going into a Apple store for a problem, I'm not counted in that group at all. Same as the majority of iPhone 6 & 6+ users. You see that 11% and thing, OH MY GOD, THAT'S JUST CRAZY BAD,... No, not really. Not even close. No one other then I guess Apple would have any idea what the total percentage of iPhone 6 and 6+ phones have this issue from iPhone's brought into their stores. I do know, it would be no where close to 11%. Even if it was 100% in the Apple stores, it may only be 1% total out of all the phones sold.

Everyone knows class action law suits are joke. The only ones that get rich are the damn lawyers. They get millions in fees and the customer gets a $2.51 check.
Exactly!!! The Lawyers end up with million in their pocket and everyone gets something of llittle value. usually a coupon, or discount. I remember one for the Exploding gas tanks on older Chevy trucks that was on the side outside the frame and if you got hit there in a crash the truck could blow up. So a Class Action, I had one of the trucks. Know what I got? Some worthless discount on buying a NEW Chevy Truck!!! So basically I got nothing!!! This is how most of these things go. The Lawyers make out like crazy, and all the people in the class get a whole lot of nothing.
I think in the end, Apple will just fix the problem for people one way or another. Just settle the case which would be much cheaper then paying the lawyers in the end a whole lot more money.
I have a 6+ that has been exhibiting this problem and getting progressively worse over the last few weeks. My friend who purchased one little after I did (Both were Nov./Dec. '14) is experiencing the beginning stages of the same problem. I have kept mine in a case from the beginning and out of my back pocket after seeing the bending that was occurring on the phones of those who did such. All I hope is that this suit forces Apple's hand.
People can say one should just expect it to last the warranty or buy an extended warranty, but is that what Apple sells? Apple touts the design, lasting endurance, and quality of their products as being above the competition. By so doing, they imply said products will perform well for a reasonable amount of time. Under 2 years or much less in some instances is not reasonable.
Refusing to acknowledge the bending and flexing that seems to create this problem over time is what started this whole mess.
The 6+ was a first gen product, but a first gen that was sold, bought, and advertised as an iteration of a successful product. This reminds me of the iPad 3 which was not prepared to handle a retina screen. I owned it and while it managed, it certainly wasn't as advertised. In reality, both of these products were such major shifts that they really constituted something new, not iterative in the way the 4s to the 5 was.
For me (speaking only of my personal experience) this is a trend in Apple products. I had a 2010 MacBook Pro that had to be replaced after 4 logic board failures. It was replaced by a 2012 Pro that again was replaced after 3 logic board failures. I now have a late 2013 Retina Pro that has had its logic board replaced 2 times. All the failures from the 2010 through the 2013 have been in the GPU. My iPhone 4 had to be replaced due to failure. My iPad Air had to be replaced due to multiple button failures which was linked to the logic board by the geniuses. Now my 6+ is suffering with this problem and my 2013 Pro that had its logic board replaced last month is starting to exhibit some of the same symptoms it did in the months leading up to the GPU failure.
I love how the Apple ecosystem works together. But it has become increasingly harder for me to use that system as the products that sustain it have failed to function. Just my 2 cents.
my family has owned 9 Apple laptops since my original G3 Wallstreet laptop with great reliability and innumerable iOS devices without any issues.

What part of "punitive" damages for the offending corporation don't you understand?
The point isn't putting money in the pockets of the aggrieved customers, it's to create a substantial financial penalty for the offending corporation.
Read a book, and quit measuring your dick by the number of posts you've made.
