"Apple disclosed on the outside of the iPhone package that the" battery has "limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced by Apple service provider," Kennelly wrote in his Sept. 23 opinion, quoting the packaging. "Under the circumstances, no reasonable jury could find that deception occurred.''

In July Jose Trujillo sued, claiming that the battery in the iPhone will last only 300 complete charges before depleting entirely. The suit also said that the battery will need to be replaced every year by Apple as the sealed rear compartment prevents third-party technicians and users from swapping batteries themselves without voiding the warranty. Trujillo charged Apple and AT&T with concealing an alleged need to replace the cellphone's battery every year while locking customers into a two-year service contract.
