Apple Sued Over Vanishing Text Messages To Android Users
An iPhone user sued Apple claiming the company's messaging system interfered with delivery of texts after she switched to an Android-based smartphone.
Bloomberg reported on Friday that Adrienne Moore filed a complaint in San Jose, California, saying that Apple's iMessage retains text messages sent from other users of Apple devices and would not deliver them to her Samsung Android phone.
People who replace their Apple devices with non-Apple wireless phones and tablets are "penalized and unable to obtain the full benefits of their wireless-service contracts," according to the complaint. Moore claims that Apple failed to disclose that switching to a device other than one running on Apple's iOS operating system would result in the interference.
The lawsuit seeks class-action status and undetermined damages.
