Apple is condemned in Australia and Sweden
The Australian justice condemned Apple for selling their tablet under the name “iPad Wi-Fi + 4G” which does not support frequencies used in Australia.
“The actions (of Apple) were very serious and deliberate,” said Justice Mordy Bromberg, relayed by AFP, which found that “a significant proportion of consumers in Australia had faced a misrepresentation of the product “.
The fine of 2.25 million Australian dollars and court costs of $ 300 000, for a total of 2 million euros, in addition to other measures already taken by Apple in response to the complaint of Australian Competition and consumer Commission (ACCC), the association of local consumer, for false advertising.
Apple has actually clarified the situation as late May, renaming its latest tablet “iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular” in the world, and clearly indicating on its website that it did not support the Australian 4G. The modem of the third generation iphone 4G is compatible but it captures the frequencies used in North America. The Cupertino company had also set up a reimbursement program for dissatisfied customers in Australia.
Finally, note that Apple has also been dragged to court for the same reasons in Sweden, where justice has not yet delivered its verdict.
