User Suing Apple Because of False Advertising

I knew it would happen eventually. It’s a lawsuit-filled world out there. Someone’s got to do it.

Some users have been experiencing some problems with the 3G on their iPhone 3G, and one new owner has decided to try to get her money’s worth.

A women in Alabama by the name of Jessica Alena Smith has filed a lawsuit against Apple for selling her a device that didn’t meet all the hype in the advertisements.

Smith purchased the device in response to Apple’s very convincing advertising. “One could barely turn on the television without hearing that the new iPhone 3G was ‘twice as fast for half the price,’” reads the complaint.

However, from day one her device’s data connection, e-mail, SMS, and other communications were slower than she had expected them to be.

Of course, she’s far from alone in her frustration, so many users are probably cheering her on. That is also why she asked for a class-action case.

Do you think she’ll be successful?

  2. Unless she has an analytic comparison of an old iPhone to a new one, she has no case.

  3. She might be. If you are sold a product that does not work as advertised, you are liable.

    For many users, the product does not work in areas where they have 3G coverage.

    Assuming Apple fixes this, the case will probably disappear.

  4. Stop wasting valuable resources.  If you can’t wait for the fix no matter who’s to blame, return the phone.

  5. I totally agree with her. The 3G phone has been a HUGE disappointment for me. The internet seems just as slow as the original iPHone. The biggest thing that has been pissing me off is the LAG. It is far worse with this phone. Typing lags, applications lag, native apps lag, google maps lag. This all happened every once in a while with my old iPhone but it happens ALL THE FREAKING TIME with the iPhone 3G. I would actually say it is twice as SLOW because of all the issues.

  6. the typing lag is awful and unacceptable. It is so bad at times that it crashes safari
