26 691 South Koreans, all holders of an iPhone, have filed a complaint in partnership this week against Apple for infringement of privacy. The complaint comes from the possibility, for the iPhone, to record the movements of the user via the GPS chip that is integrated.
"We filed a complaint in partnership claiming compensation to Apple and its South Korean subsidiary because of the emotional damage caused by the illegal positioning of Apple iPhone," explained the firm who is charge of the case. Each of the complainants claimed 1 million won (about 648 euros) in compensation.
It may be surprising to see this matter just now in Korea South, the homeland of the manufacturer (and competitor Apple) Samsung, while the two marks are in legal battle in Europe.This is explained mainly by the fact thata lawyer, Kim Hyung-suk, already engaged in a case of this type against Apple, comes just to win his trial against the American giant and won compensation of one million won.The rest, the South Korean telecommunications regulator had already indicated a few weeks ago that he would seek a fine of three million won (about 1950 euros) on the same case.
