So they're suing to get a $10 Apple Gift Card in the end which Apple will end up making money off it because someone will buy something because they have this $10 gift card.
Honestly...people just have too much time on their hands I guess. You could always return the phone if you didn't like it.
Sadly, I think it is more the millennial mindset that is looking for a quick paycheck. They simply don’t know what hard work is.
Not Millennals. This sort of B***S*** has been going on for ages. Way before the Millennials were around.

Maybe, but documented proof has only gone back to the Milennals. The proof is overwhelming.
The problem is I may be a Milennal but I usually lie about it..
In fairness, I'd hate to buy a 2.0l car and it's 1.8l ... or a 60" TV and it's 55" ... or a 21MP SLR and it's an 18MP
It's be good - fantastic really - if products were as labelled.
To be honest though, I didn't think iPhone users would pick this up ... they're not into specs
The difference is like 2%. So that would be 2l compared to 1.96l. But Apple says viewable area would be less in the fine print:
The display has rounded corners that follow a beautiful curved design, and these corners are within a standard rectangle. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 5.85 inches (iPhone XS) and 6.46 inches (iPhone XS Max) diagonally. Actual viewable area is less
The rounded corners are one of the best features of the new iPhones. I am not a fan of the notch but the round corners made me buy the iPhone X. I hope this lawsuit goes down in flames.
Oh, I see. One chooses the phone based on numbers on a box and how many “real” pixels there are, not how it feels and looks like in your hand. And obviously, you clearly feel the lack of real pixels as well, but only after the return period expires. Who needs common sense anymore anyway.
if pixels were not important then Apple would not be bragging about them every time a new iPhone is launched.
I'm glad people sue Apple it's a way of making money in a capitalist system.
One year ago, on two occasions, I overheard Apple store employees tell customers that the iPhone X display was larger than the iPhone 8 Plus. And I was compelled to interject a correction, as the smaller size of the X display at its premium price was a major disappointment. The X is larger in diagonal measure, but much smaller in area.

Why would more pixels be the sole measure on pricing an entire device? Even the display types are vastly different which affects price.
Just remember the lawsuits over screen size measurements and hard disk drive storage bytes. They all claimed fraud and misrepresentation when it actually over ignorance about how technical jargon is calculated.
I - for one - am glad the XR is not included this. Imagine we are already starting at 800x or something ... Every single pixel matters at that resolution!

Yeah, we can all just imagine you skulking around an Apple store waiting for the opportunity to butt in to dispense your valuable opinions. There’s an epithet for your kind of personage.
Where were they in the days of analog TV when almost every single TV set over scanned?
How about the fact that 1080 resolution on TV sets represents the number of vertical pixels (sets are actually 1920x1080) and that "4K" sets are measuring the horizontal resolution (3840) and isn't "4K", so where's the class action suit for those missing 160 horizontal pixels and 345,600 total "missing" pixels. Etc.
Why aren't they suing car companies because posted gas mileage is rarely actually achieved in real-life driving.

Um - the argument on resolution on TV's is totally different ? How do you even get that situation on and iPhone situation as the same?

Aren't people on here missing the point, if your buying something to a spec and it's not, then that is misleading, your not buying what you pay for. It violates the trade descriptions act so can't see how people can defend apple on this one. Where there is a blame there is a claim.
What benefit does this lawsuit realistically serve the public other than making the attorneys a little bit richer? Sad when the new frontier of information and technology only gives greedy opportunists another avenue of loophole treasure seeking.

The first thought I had when I read the headline was about TV/monitor screen size - weren’t there some lawsuits around that years ago? One would think that they would serve as precedent here.

Well, comparing diagonal screen measurements when the aspect ratios are different doesn’t really work, so if they were doing so then they were being inaccurate at best. Still, if you have the two devices next to each other, you can actually see the two to compare them - far more valuable than compareing numbers - and the effective screen size between the two is really about the same. But yeah, I’m sure the Apple Employees appreciated the ‘help!’

What makes me sad is that people care enough to use it to make purchasing decisions. What should matter is if the size fits your use-case in terms of real-estate, and that it looks good (good-enough) to your eye. Beyond that, it's just a silly spec-battle.

Hmm, yeah, that 4K thing does seem problematic. They probably cover that in the fine print, too. (Is there a case if it is covered in the fine print?)

Why aren't they the same? Aren't we talking about pixel numbers?
I think that's the difference - the manufacture mentions the size in specs and datasheets etc . I'm not 100% on this Apple lawsuit, but it they mentioned it someone - then I'm with you all. But if they didn't and it was found out, then I think it's a legit suit ?

Heh, it would be nice if the populace paid enough attention to do what we can easily do... vote them out. But, alas...
I think for marketing and media purposes, a Millennial is anyone younger than a Baby-boomer.
They shouldn't be able to count the 'ears' either, so it's more than that.
No doubt.

As for the car, ever heard of VW?
