3 iPhone Class Action Lawsuits Filed In The Past Week [IPhone] from Consumerist by Chris Walters The number of people gunning for some Apple/AT&T cash keeps increasing, with three new class action lawsuits filed over the past 8 days alone. In all three suits, the primary complaint is the same: that AT&T Mobility's 3G network isn't robust enough to deliver the type of experience promised by iPhone marketing. From the suit filed in Texas: Due to the overloaded 3G network, it is quite common for iPhone users to only be on the 3G network for a few minutes before being bumped to the slower EDGE network despite being in geographical areas allegedly rich with 3G network coverage. In addition to 3G complaints, two of the suits state that the iPhone hardware is prone to early wear-and-tear, and the third suit alleges that Apple's firmware updates haven't solved usability problems as promised. You iPhone owners out there=97is 3G still a problem? The last we heard, AT&T was (allegedly) yanking power from the EDGE network and turning its back on old-school data users like me in order to bulk up the 3G access. "More iPhone lawsuits claim high-profile gadget =91cannot adequately perform=92" [RCR Wireless] -- "In addition to 3G complaints, two of the suits state that the iPhone hardware is prone to early wear-and-tear" Yes that is a strong point in these lawsuits against Apple's smartphone. Everyone knows a plastic smartphone screen gets horrible scratches as soon as you first use them on day one. Just look at one and it is damaged! Yes everyone also knows that all smartphone keyboards get filthy and become unresponsive. Also those big smartphone batteries fail to make a good connection as the spring contacts wear resulting in intermittent phone operation. Those batteries fail to maintain a phone call after a few minutes. These is very little standby time in these poorly designed phones waiting for a mere phone call so multiple batteries are needed to get through the day just to use the phone! Often the slide to the keyboard of a smartphone becomes wobbly with wear so it makes sense to file a class action lawsuit using boiler plate legalize to grab some money from the Apple iPhone division for these historic deficiencies. It is a no brainer for a lawyer used to filing these sorts of actions to merely punch a button and add all these pages to his lawsuit. Easy money!
