Apple is currently in a bad seat after some experts claim that its Buy Button for its popular iTunes streaming app allegedly misleads its users. The tech giant manufacturer is now facing a new lawsuit against its popular music app.
A man listens to an iPod MP3 player through earphones August 17, 2005 in Sydney, Australia. Research conducted by the National Acoustic Laboratories, to be released by the Australian Federal Government today, has found that up to a 25% of people who use iPods or other portable music devices will suffer from hearing problems as a result of listening to their players at "excessive and damaging" levels.
Previously, Apple also faced other lawsuits against its alleged missing charges, antitrust, and refused warranties. However, the new accusation is a different one since it focuses on a feature offered by one of its iOS applications.
The new iTunes Buy Button issue could be a serious one since many users are buying digital content from Apple. This includes TV shows, movies, and music. These are all important since users are relying on them for entertainment since the global COVID-19 pandemic is still affecting some countries across the globe.
To give you more idea, here's what the new lawsuit says about Apple's iTunes Buy Button.
Apple's iTunes Buy Button Could Mislead iOS Users
According to Geeky Gadgets' latest report, the new lawsuit accuses Apple's iTunes Buy Button of misleading users since it can terminate the users' music content purchases any time they want. If this is true, then this means that iOS fans can't really own their music purchases even if they already bought them, which is pretty unfair on the users' side.
People are seen behind the Apple logo in Apple's flagship London retail store on Regent Street on December 27, 2006 in London, England. With many stores open for the first time since Christmas Eve, bargain hunters are searching for the best buys as the post-Christmas sales get under way.

However, the tech giant manufacturer defended its side, saying that iOS users should already expect that the content they buy on iTunes will not be there forever.
However, Judge John Mendez rejected the company's statement.
"But in common usage, the term 'buy' means to acquire possession over something. It seems plausible, at least at the motion to dismiss stage, that reasonable consumers would expect their access couldn't be revoked," he said via iMore's previous report.
As of the moment, the accusation over Apple is still ongoing. If you want to know more details about it, all you need to do is click this link.
