A judge in California has OK'd a class-action lawsuit against Apple for alleged breaches of its AppleCare warranty schemes.
The case (PDF) was brought by Vicky Maldonado and Justin Carter, who complained that remanufactured replacement iPhones or iPads "are not 'equivalent to new in performance and reliability' as promised under the contract. Instead, the presence of non-new parts means remanufactured devices can never be as reliable as new ones."
