该诉讼于周四在美国提起地方法院美国德克萨斯州东区法院的一名法官称，iPhone 6的电池“存在缺陷，无法可靠地执行其功能”。
该公司还声称，这一缺陷“会造成爆炸和火灾的危险”，苹果内幕报道。
“罗伯特富兰克林当时他正用iPhone 6听音乐，突然发现手机上的音乐开始跳音。”
“当他拿起iPhone想要调查时，手机突然爆炸，并在他的脸上着火，”报道补充道。
诉状还说，原告的眼睛和手腕因此受伤。
后一处受伤是因为大火导致他摔倒，在此期间富兰克林用手支撑着自己。
诉状称:“由于电池存在缺陷，原告的iPhone 6操作起来不安全，并在爆炸中被摧毁。”
据报道，原告因该事件遭受了经济损失。费用包括更换iPhone的费用，以及受伤的医疗费用。
根据诉讼，苹果违反了德克萨斯州的法律，因为它销售了一款不可销售的产品。它声称，苹果公司声称iPhone 6将不会有任何缺陷的保修期被证明是不真实的。
这起诉讼要求集体诉讼和陪审团审判。该公司要求对据称存在缺陷的iPhone 6及其电池进行赔偿，并要求对更换的附带损害赔偿设备以及律师费和法庭费用。

<\/figure>San Francisco: A man in the US has sued Apple<\/a> for allegedly selling defective batteries<\/a> and violating its warranty promises after his iPhone<\/a> exploded on his face in 2019.The lawsuit, lodged on Thursday in the US District Court<\/a> for the Eastern District of Texas, claimed that the iPhone 6's battery \"contains a defect which makes it unable to reliably perform its function\".
It went on to allege that the defect \"creates a danger of explosion and fire\", Apple Insider<\/a> reported.
<\/div><\/div>According to the complaint, the iPhone 6 device of plaintiff Robert Franklin<\/a> of Hopkins County, Texas, had exploded in August 2019.
\"Robert Franklin<\/a> was listening to music on his iPhone 6, when he noticed the music playing on his phone began to skip,\" the lawsuit read.
\"As he picked up his iPhone to investigate, it suddenly exploded and caught fire in his face,\" it added.
The complaint went on to say that the plaintiff suffered injuries to his eyes and wrist as a result of the incident.
The latter injury occurred because the fire caused him to fall, during which Franklin used his hand to brace himself.
\"With a defective battery, Plaintiff's iPhone 6 was unsafe to operate and was destroyed by the explosion,\" the complaint said.
The plaintiff reportedly suffered economic loss because of the incident. Costs included those to replace the iPhone, plus medical treatment for his injuries.
According to the lawsuit, Apple is in violation of Texas law because it sold an un-merchantable product. It alleges that Apple's warranty, which claims that the iPhone 6 would be free from defects, turned out to be untrue.
The lawsuit sought class-action status and a jury trial. It asked for damages for the allegedly defective iPhone 6 and its battery, incidental damages for replacement devices<\/a>, and attorneys' fees and court costs.
