Another day, yet another lawsuit. In addition to the Chinese lawsuit against three companies, including Apple, our favorite tech company is facing another lawsuit over the performance of its iPhone 3G on AT&T’s network, but “with added allegations that the company is ignoring the occurrence of hairline cracks in the handset’s enclosure,” reports AppleInsider.
The 23-page suit, filed in a New York district court by Nassau County resident Avi Koschitzki, “joins a chorus of complaints filed earlier this year,” each of which charge the iPhone maker and its exclusive US wireless carrier AT&T with misrepresenting the performance of the new touchscreen handset by advertising it as “twice as fast” as its predecessor, the article adds. Koschitzki adds that he’s one of many customers who’ve noticed hairline cracks form in the iPhone 3G’s casing at or around the camera module, and adds that some customers have noticed similar cracks immediately upon opening their new iPhones’ boxes for the first time.
