Australian Commission on Consumer Protection (ACCC) and Apple could not agree on an issue related to the fact that advertising is the new iPad tablet Buyer enters into error. In the ACCC asked to change the name of the gadget, which is currently marketed in Australia under the name iPad Wi-Fi + 4G.
According to promotional materials Apple, the latest Tablet PC iPad with 4G module allows owners to use the fourth-generation network using the SIM-card, but it is not. On the Green continent is only one network is LTE, which is in the possession of the largest in Australia for Telstra, but it is clocked at 1800 MHz. The new iPad tablet supports only "American" frequency of 700 MHz and 2100 MHz.
A local competitor, Telstra, the operator Optus, also plans to launch LTE network in Australia, however, as the representative of the company's high-speed Internet access with the required frequency for iPad will be in the country until 2015.
After numerous complaints, Apple was forced to change the marketing policy, send a letter explaining the discrepancy technical users who have already purchased a new device, and return the money to dissatisfied customers.
Negotiations between the ACCC and Apple and no to no avail. Now the empire of Steve Jobs will address the defendant in court. The organization appealed to the Federal Court in Melbourne to get the Cupertino manufacturer to change the information in promotional materials for accurate and indemnify defrauded customers. Hearings are scheduled for May 2012.
