Suit alleges Apple stores discriminate against visually impaired

A class action lawsuit recently filed in Florida alleges that Apple is violating Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act by not offering point of sale devices that can be operated independently by the visually impaired. The suit argues the visually impaired cannot enter a PIN without help while using a debit card, denying the individuals full equal use of the store. It’s noted that other retailers offer point of sale devices with “tactiley discernible keypad surfaces.” The plaintiff is seeking an injunction that would force Apple to update or replace its point of sale devices.
