Apple Sold Too Many iPhone 3Gs; being sued





It looks like Apple is the object of many a lawsuit right now. Another unhappy iPhone 3G customer has filed a lawsuit against both Apple and AT&T. The reason? Apple sold too many iPhone 3Gs. Seriously.

William Gillis filed the lawsuit after being displeased with the iPhone 3G’s performance. But his complaint doesn’t stop at the iPhone’s inability to perform. Rather, he’s suing because, as he claims, the iPhone 3G was oversold even though Apple and AT&T were fully aware that doing so would overload the network’s capacity.

As you might remember from last week, we told you that the iPhone 3G wasn’t able to keep 3G signals sometimes because it was asking for too much signal strength from the network towers, causing dropped calls and all sorts of other problems. This suit is seeking class action status, so if it goes through, all iPhone 3G customers in California that had problems could be eligible.

    I hope at least they pay up this times, out of all the profits they stashed by giving the crappy iPhone network service, it was always getting here. Go William Go

    Straight out of the Onion?
    Of course it’s important to blame Apple for the network issues which is solely in the realm of AT&T or any other service provider.
    jeeeze can people even solve a simple math equation anymore like 2+2?

    Can we now sue Microsoft for selling too much software and therefore causing a profusion of terrible software and computer problems for the last 27 years?

    You nailed it George. After all the whining about not having a 3G iPhone, it’s now come to bite people in the butt, since everyone decided that they had to have the latest greatest and AT&T wasn’t ready for the high demand.

    Had Apple released the 3G iPhone in limited quantities people would still be moaning that Apple isn’t giving the people what they want. I like Apple as much as anyone but I don’t expect them to work miracles where they have no control (ie the actual 3G network).

    You could certainly see your enthusiasm in the paintings you write. The sector hopes for more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. At all times go after your heart.
