Sanders v. Apple, Inc.
United States District Court for the Northern District of California
672 F. Supp. 978 (2009)
Relevant factsFree
Apple (defendant) advertised its 20-inch Aluminum iMac's technical specifications as capable of displaying millions of colors, though the display actually used a simulation process rather than natively producing that many colors. Buyers (plaintiffs), including Chandra Sanders, were disappointed with the display quality and brought a class action alleging breach of express warranty; Apple moved to dismiss and to strike the class claims.
IssueFree
Whether a claim for a merchant's breach of express warranty requires the consumer to demonstrate the specific terms of the warranty, an actual breach, and reliance on the merchant's representation.
