Apple getting into trouble in Australia: the state court ruled that the giant company to pay a fine of $ 2.25 million Australians that deliberately played down its marketing campaign that the new iPad does not support current fourth-generation network in Australia, operated by the company Tlstra.
Lawsuit filed against Apple last March by the conference competitiveness and consumerism in Australia. After litigation Apple agreed to pay the fine, and now the Court held that a fair amount. The judge also said the most disturbing aspect of the matter is Apple's deliberate conduct - it is not denying - to publish the advertisements when she knows are not accurate. "Apple's her desire for global unity has a greater priority than the need to ensure that the Australian consumer law compliance. Such behavior is a serious and unacceptable".
Australian commentators have raised the point and a fine may be too low, as Apple gains in Australia last year were 4.48 billion. But Apple's willingness to cooperate with the procedure and the fact that in the past, such cases turn - tipped the scales in favor of the resolution makes it easy.
