Lawsuits Against Apple for iPhone 3G Coverage

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.
