They ask for the withdrawal of the announcement of the iPhone 7 by misleading advertising

According to Tim Cook announced on the day of release and as you can see in the 'spot', Apple's new mobile can get wet, but oddly the warranty says it does not cover moisture damage

   Two of the most innovative features - in fact, of the few - announced by Tim Cook in Apple's latest Keynote regarding the new iPhone 7 were that its new terminal dispensed with the jack input for headphones (hence the controversy over the need to adapter or spend almost 200 euros on their wireless AirPods) and water resistance.



   It seems that this second function is also put into question since the company warns in the guarantee of its 'smartphone' that it is not responsible for possible damage by moisture, so you have to think twice before wetting it.

Precisely this is what has denounced the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) before the Directorate General of Consumer Affairs of the Community of Madrid, as the new announcement of the iPhone 7 shows a man who throws himself into the water and splashes his mobile carefree , adducing the resistance of the terminal and giving rise to a case of misleading advertising.

The organization requires the brand to rectify the announcement or its imminent withdrawal due to the "confusion" that it may generate in consumers, they explain in a press release. This contradiction "can mislead the consumer, who acquires a phone thinking that it is resistant to water, but then does not have a guarantee about the possible damages that could have for that fact", says the OCU.

The organization requests that Apple be sanctioned in proportion to the impact of the announcement and the business volume of the company, so that they do not recur and return this type of practices profitable to companies that violate the rights of the companies. consumers. At the moment Apple has not spoken about it.
