The "
Apple 4G deception" imbroglio in Australia has concluded with the company slapped with a $AU2.5 million dollar fine for advertising capabilities it couldn’t deliver down under.
Australia’s competition regulator, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, brought the Federal Court action against Cupertino for its
“iPad with WiFi + 4G” advertising, because the iPad launched in March was incapable of connecting to any of Australia’s 4G (LTE) networks. Apple
argued that Australia's HSPA+ netwroks were good enough to be called 4G.
