Apple Sued for Selling HD-Videos to iPhones Unable to Play Them

Published on:

?Apple has been accused of forcing customers to pay for High-Definition videos that are downloaded to their iPhones, even if they own an older model that did not support the higher resolution content.

In a court filing, Scott J. Weiselberg is seeking a class action lawsuit against the company and wants it to refund the $1 per download surcharge that he claims was illegally applied to the bills.

Although Apple used to offer the option to buy a standard resolution video file, this was removed from a 2010 update to the iTunes software.

However, even though the customer was billed for HD-Videos, the file subsequently sent to the handset was still a standard resolution video.

"Despite the fact that Apple makes the HD version of the content offerings the default rental option, Apple failed to disclose to customers using SD Apple mobile devices that the device could not play the HD content being rented, and that the customer was needlessly paying the premium for the HD option," the complaint which has been seen by Courthouse News states.

He claims that thanks to the changes implemented by Apple, it collected "millions of dollars in undeserved profits."
