    Apple sued over iPhone 6's alleged 'battery explosion'
    Texas man sues Apple for iPhone 6's alleged battery defects

    Two years after the iPhone 6's battery exploded in Robert Franklin's face, the Texan man is seeking a class-action suit against Apple for allegedly selling defective batteries and violating the warranty pledge. The lawsuit, lodged on Thursday in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, claims that the defect "creates a danger of explosion and fire."

Franklin, from this case, has asked for defect damages and treatment costs along with court and attorney fees. Notably, the condition of his iPhone 6 before the incident took place is not yet known.
