The first class-action lawsuit related to the iPhone has been filed by a plaintiff named Jose Trujillo against Apple and AT&T. Mr. Trujillo claims that he didn't know the iPhone's battery is a sealed unit, according to Gizmodo on Friday.

The plaintiff claims that the iPhone battery can only be charged 300 times before it needs replacement -- a claim that appears to be at odds with the technical information Apple has previously supplied.

Apple's statements about iPhone battery life and a battery replacement program, if required, were previously covered at iPO.

The key allegations and the text of the class-action suit were posted at Gizmodo which broke the story.
