9th Circuit Denies Injunction to Bar Ads Depicting iPhone 15 Pro as a Titanium Phone
9th U.S. Circuit Appeals Court Judges Johnnie Rawlinson and Andrew Hurwitz denied pro se plaintiff-appellant Ganiyu Jaiyeola’s emergency motion for injunctive relief to enjoin Apple, AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon from advertising that the iPhone 15 Pro is a titanium phone, said their order Thursday (docket 23-4027). Jaiyeola’s emergency motion Dec. 13 argued that without injunctive relief, “the trusting public” will keep on buying the iPhone 15 Pro thinking that they are buying a titanium phone when that's not true. “This is Christmas season, the buying season for phones,” said the emergency motion. Dec.18, which was when Jaiyeola asked the 9th Circuit to render a decision, is one week before Christmas, it said. If the 9th Circuit can decide on the injunctive relief by Dec. 15. “the trusting public will be saved a lot of grief,” it said.
