-

Apple has been hit with a class action lawsuit by customers who claim that information from their purchases on iTunes was sold to third parties, Billboard reports. According to a new report by Billboard, plaintiffs Leigh Wheaton, Jill Paul, and Trevor Paul allege that Apple was collecting and selling their data to third parties despite “touting its supposedly pro-consumer positions on issues of data privacy,” as Billboard points out. The plaintiffs reportedly claimed that this practice was done in violation of their respective states’ (Rhode Island and Michigan) privacy laws. They are allegedly seeking over $5 million in damages, according to court documents viewed by Billboard. The suit was filed today (May 24) in California’s Northern Federal District.
Billboard reports that the complaint claims Apple “supplements its revenues by selling, renting, and transmitting with third parties information about the music that each customer purchases from the iTunes Store.” The suit reportedly claims that Apple discloses full names and home addresses of its customers along with other information pertaining to music they have purchased on the iTunes store.

The new six will find its way to other models as redesigns allow. The new 3.0-liter is not just any old stove-bolt six but a highly electrified and turbocharged engine that debuts a 48-volt electrical system with so-called EQ Boost, which integrates a hybridlike starter-generator, called ISG. Like a gasoline-electric hybrid, the motor assists the engine when accelerating and allows “sailing” when cruising without heavy acceleration. Sailing also pipes energy back into the battery for continued boost and to power the c...

APPLE TO REDUCE IPHONE PRICES

Apple’s iPhone revenue has plunged in the December quarter, and the company is ready to make some changes. According to CEO Tim Cook, Apple will reduce prices of the iPhone in markets where local currencies have weakened against the dollar. As we’ve gotten into January and assessed the macroeconomic condition in some of those markets, we’ve decided to go back to more commensurate with what our local prices were a year ago in hopes of helping the sales in those areas,” Cook told Reuters (via The Next Web). “If you’ve never bought an iPhone outside of the U.S., you may not be aware of just how staggering the price difference is. I’ve been pointing it out over and over and over — it’s hard to justify spending $1,760 for a maxed-out iPhone XS (UK pricing at launch) when the exact same model costs $1,349 in the U.S. And it’s even harder in a country like Hungary, where the price is even higher and the average customer’s purchasing power is far lower than in the U.S. Subscr...
