It seems that the new iPhone 3g has some problems. Their commercial sounds something like this: “Twice as fast, half the price” – perfect for attracting new customers. But what happens when the processing speed is the same as the old one, and only the price is half?
Well, in that case, we could say that Apple is trying to sell their phones – at least that’s what a customer from Alabama said when he sued the company for fake publicity. He’s demands where simple: a new phone or free repairs + moral damage and trial costs. It seems like the new iPhone 3G has moments when he works on Edge, which shouldn’t happen.
Here comes the interesting part. The guys from Apple found a simple and rather dumb excuse: “Red Bull gives you wings”, and they said they are not doing anything different than what the Red Bull company does. More than that, they think that, if you don’t expect an energizing drink to give you wings, why would you expect an iPhone to have twice the speed?- while the guys from Red Bull just try to make their commercials funny, the people from Apple are just lying to their costumers by offering something that doesn’t exist.
I don’t say that the person who intended the law suit didn’t do it for the money, but that doesn’t mean he is not right. I am sure that most of the iPhone’s buyers thought that they were getting what they were paying for.
