“Kenneth Sciacca of Colorado filed a class action against Apple on June 4th in San Jose, California seeking $5 million for their refusal to acknowledge a common complaint about every edition of the Apple Watch,” Jack Purcher reports for Patently Apple. “According to the Plaintiff, ‘The Watches all contain the same defect and/or flaw, which causes the screens on the Watches to crack, shatter, or detach from the body of the Watch (the ‘Defect’), through no fault of the wearer, oftentimes only days or weeks after purchase.'”
