Apple faces another lawsuit over iPhone 3G performance. The latest, a class-action lawsuit filed in Northern California, asks a court to award more than $5 million to iPhone 3G buyers.
In the 14-page lawsuit, California resident Jason Medway alleges Apple knew the “iPhone 3G cannot maintain consistent service” and has only offered buyers replacement phones.
The legal action claims iPhone 3G purchasers “have experienced broken promises regarding the phone’s transmission speeds.”
Despite allegedly knowing of the technical problems, Apple continued to mount a “multimillion-dollar television and print advertising campaign for the iPhone 3G,” according to the lawsuit.
In his complaint, Medway and “thousands” of other Californian iPhone 3G owners, ask for more than $5 million, including repaying the purchase price of their iPhones, iPhone profits, interest and lawyers’ fees.
AT&T was not a defendant in the lawsuit.
Last month, in response to another iPhone 3G lawsuit, Apple said “no reasonable person” would consider its handset advertising as factual. The comments only opened the floodgates for other lawsuits.
