Consumer panel asks Apple, Croma to refund customer's iPhone cost over microphone defect
Mumbai: A consumer commission here has directed Apple India and Croma to refund an iPhone cost of ₹65,264 to the legal heirs of a customer for failing to resolve a microphone defect in the device, holding the two companies deficient in service. Both the manufacturer and the seller are "jointly and severally liable for the defective product", the commission said in the order passed earlier this month, as the two companies failed to resolve the defect in the device purchased by the customer (now deceased). The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Mumbai (Suburban) held that the "manufacturer (Apple) merely mentioning certain unauthorized modification or damage in hardware cannot be the correct resolution" for the customer's grievance. It further ruled that the seller (Croma) too cannot escape liability merely by stating the "defect is attributable to the manufacturer". "Once the product was sold through their outlet, they assumed responsibility for ensuring that the product was free from defects and serviceable," the commission noted. It said the "principle of vicarious liability squarely applies", as the seller stands in a position of trust and derives commercial benefit from the sale. The complainant purchased an iPhone 11 for ₹65,264 from a Croma store in Mumbai on June 4, 2021. Shortly after the purchase, the device developed an issue as the speakerphone function was not working during calls, with specifically "no speech from mic". The complainant approached Apple's authorised service centre, but repairs were denied on the grounds of "unauthorized modifications in the device," rendering it ineligible for warranty service. Despite repeated complaints and emails, the opposite parties failed to address the grievance, following which the complainant approached the commission. During the course of proceeding, the customer passed away, but the complaint was continued by his legal heirs. The Apple India Private Limited, in its response, admitted the purchase and the issue with the microphone. But it reiterated that the device had unauthorised modifications, voiding the warranty. Infiniti Retail Limited (Croma) failed to appear and was proceeded against ex-parte. The commission, after perusal of documents on record, held that Apple failed to specify exactly which term or condition of the warranty was breached by the complainant. "Merely referring clauses of warranty terms and condition cannot be sufficient to attribute the particular defect as certain unauthorized modification or damage to software," it noted. The commission concluded that documents and evidence brought on record are sufficient to ascertain the defect in goods coupled with deficiency in service provided by the opposite parties. It ruled that both the manufacturer and the seller are "jointly and severally liable for the defective product". The commission directed both the opposite parties to refund the iPhone cost of ₹65,264, along with a 6 per cent interest per annum from the date of the complaint (August 6, 2021) until the date of actual payment. The two companies were also directed to pay ₹15,000 as compensation for mental agony and ₹2,000 for legal expenses to customer's family.

Apple iPhone 17 price: From likely cost in India to specifications - here's all you need to know
Apple's iPhone 17 lineup is expected to make its debut in September with four models likely to be introduced — the standard iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and a new iPhone 17 Air, Apple's thinnest phone yet. Several leaked images of lens protection covers, allegedly belonging to the iPhone 17 have surfaced online, with each model rumored to receive major enhancements in design, processing power, screen technology, and camera performance. According to the reports, Apple is expected to launch the new iPhones between 8 and 11 September, sticking with its usual early-September window. Pre-orders are also likely to commence in the same week. Apple has launched new iPhones during the second week of September in nine out of the last ten years, with 2020 being the only exception due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the rumors suggest. The iPhone 17 lineup is expected to launch in 6 different colours, including black, grey, silver, light blue, light green, and light purple Alongside the colour leaks, some reports also suggest a few design changes. The Apple logo on the Pro models appears to have been repositioned slightly lower on the rear panel. The camera module is also rumored to have undergone a redesign, with three sensors now housed in circular units aligned on the left within a rectangular camera bar. The LED flash and LiDAR sensor are reportedly positioned to the right of this setup. The iPhone 17 lineup is expected to launch in India with a starting price of approximately ₹ 79,900 for the base model. However, both the base and Pro models are likely to experience a price increase due to the trade tariffs introduced during the Trump administration. With ongoing geopolitical tensions between the US and China, production costs for iPhones manufactured in China have surged, which resulted in higher global retail prices. The iPhone 17 Pro may cost ₹ 1,45,000, while the iPhone 17 Air could be priced around ₹ 90,000 in India. The new addition to the lineup, iPhone 17 Air is expected to carry a price tag of around $899 in the United States, and AED 3,799 in Dubai.

Apple sues YouTuber Jon Prosser: Who is he and how he 'used' an Apple employee's phone to extract company secrets
(Image via YouTube/fpt.) Apple has filed a federal lawsuit against popular YouTuber Jon Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti. In the lawsuit, the tech giant has accused them of orchestrating a scheme to steal iOS 26 trade secrets from a development iPhone. The company has accused Prosser of leaking confidential details about its upcoming iOS 26 software. Along with this, the video editor Michael Ramacciotti who is the accomplice of Prosser has reportedly accessed a development iPhone belonging to an Apple employee. The lawsuit claims Ramacciotti broke into his friend Ethan Lipnik's Apple-issued development phone while staying at his home, then showed the unreleased software to Prosser via FaceTime. Prosser allegedly recorded the call and used the footage to create "reconstructed" renderings for his YouTube channel. Who is Jon Prosser For those unaware, Jon Prosser is the creator of popular YouTube channel called Front Page Tech. He is known for leaking details about Apple products which are not yet released by the company. The lawsuit filed by Apple claims that in January 2025 Prosser gained access to early visuals of iOS 26's new Liquid Glass design, which resembles a lot to the final version showcased by Apple at WWDC 2025. Allegations made by Apple against Jon Prosser The Cupertino- based tech giant alleges that Ramacotti, a friend of Apple employee Ethan Lipnik, allegedly used Lipnik's passcode and then tracked his location to access a development iPhone while staying at his home. During that time Ramacotti made a FaceTime call to Prosser and showed him the unreleased iOS 26 features. Prosser then reportedly recorded that call and later used that to create monetised YouTube content. Apple also claims that Prosser promised payment or future job opportunities to Ramacotti for the leaked information. What information was leaked by Prosser The YouTuber leaked the details about the redesigned camera app with simplified controls. He also showcased the Liquid Glass design which featured pill-shaped tabs and rounded visuals. Along with this, he also talked about the early previews of the Messages app and other UI elevates which later appeared in iOS 26. What Apple is seeking Apple is requesting a jury trial and seeking multiple forms of relief: * Injunctive relief to prevent further disclosure of confidential information * Punitive and compensatory damages for trade secret misappropriation * An order requiring defendants to return or destroy any confidential Apple information * Recovery of legal fees and costs * Pre- and post-judgment interest The lawsuit includes claims under the Defend Trade Secrets Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act .
