# 6 Apple sued over Siri 'false advertising'

A New York guy got miffed by Siri’s voice assistant being useless contrary to the ads which presented it as the answer to all ills, so he sued Apple, reports TGDAILY.

Frank Fazio said he bought his iPhone 4S, tempted by advertisements that showed Siri doing everything from finding restaurants to teaching guitar chords.

"To the detriment of Plaintiff and the putative class, defendants' marketing campaign has succeeded," read the law suit. "Plaintiff would not have paid the price he paid for the iPhone 4S, if he had not seen these representations," it added.

Fazio said that he was deeply disappointed when he asked Siri for directions; it either failed to understand or, after a long delay, gave the wrong answer.

"Defendant’s advertisements regarding the Siri feature are fundamentally and designedly false and misleading," he claims.

According to the lawsuit, Apple never made it clear that the scenes depicted in its ads were 'fiction'. And so Fazio wanted 'compensatory damages, statutory damages, restitution, and all other forms of monetary and non-monetary relief recoverable under California law'.
