Apple and ATT Sued Over MMS Claims
Posted in: Apple, att, iPhone, Today's ChiliA woman in Ohio is suing Apple and AT&T over the companies’ claims that iPhone 3.0 software would bring MMS messaging to the device. The suit cites documents from the companies that detail the introduction of the service.
The official filing reads, in part,
Millions of customers, as a result of the false and deceptive representations and concealments of Apple and AT&T purchased the 3G and 3GS, waiting for the wonderful day in June 2009 when the new application would be available which would allow MMS. Unfortunately, after downloading the new 3.0 Software Update application, MMS still did not work on both the 3G and 3GS.
Apple issued the following disclaimer ahead of the OS’s release,
MMS messaging is available only on iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS; fees may apply. MMS may not be available in all areas. MMS support from AT&T will be available in late summer.
The complaint dismisses the small print as being ‘barely readable,’ according to Information Week.
