PCWorld:
Apple has stopped calling the new iPad “4G-capable” after regulators cracked down on its U.S.-only capability to connect to high-speed LTE networks. Although it is still listed as being “4G LTE capable,” the new iPad is now called “Wi-Fi + Cellular” instead of “Wi-Fi + 4G” in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada, and several parts of Asia.
Apple’s labeling drew criticism from regulators in Australia because its advertisements misled regarding the device’s 4G connectivity, and Apple also got complaints from customers in Europe.
As an Australian, I can honestly say that the ACCC sucks more bollucks than the Amazon Justi…I mean the US Justice Dept. 😛
Seriously though, this was a really stupid and time wasting effort for the ACCC.
If anything, they should go after the telcos for misleading terminology.
Same thing for our regulators in the EU.
