Apple's 4G iPad 3 advertising and the ACCC

The ACCC is filing a claim tomorrow against Apple for Apple's advertising which claims that the iPad 3 is 4G compatible.

The ACCC release is here.

The ACCC says that the iPad 4 advertising is misleading because 'it represents to Australian consumers that the product "iPad with WiFi + 4G" can, with a SIM card, connect to a 4G mobile data network in Australia, when this is not the case.'

The ACCC will be seeking urgent interlocutory relief and final orders including injunctions, penalties, orders for corrective advertising and orders for refunds to affected persons.
