Lawsuits Against Apple for iPhone 3G Coverage

Newspaper

article by Matthew Vea (VnutZ) on 28 August 2008, tagged as apple, iphone, legal, and att

Roughly two months ago, Apple unveiled the iPhone 3G to much fanfare. Not long after the release, complaints arose regarding the apparently spotty 3G performance from the phone, a problem that has been blamed on a variety of factors such as software thresholds for signal strength and shoddy 3G chipsets. This led to not only one, but two lawsuits against Apple for false claims of 3G performance. On the flip side, a survey conducted by Wired magazine profiled 3G signal strengths and reliability around the world and postulated the root cause of the iPhone’s problems may not be Apple’s problem but AT&T’s.

My 3G Was Shoddy by VnutZ :: NR10

I noticed my 3G service was very shaky … and I live only four miles (as the crow flies) from Manhattan. I simply disabled the 3G antenna figuring "why put myself through the hassle" and service has been fine. I did notice that even on the EDGE network my signal strength wasn’t nearly a full five bars. Interestingly, as soon as I cross the Canadian border and hit the Rogers Network I have had a full five bars for the duration of my business trip. Granted, I had to disable the data roaming to avoid racking up an enormous bill. But with that experience and Wired’s survey in mind … it very well could be an AT&T issue.
