iPhone Lawsuit Update

Back in late summer a couple of lawsuits were filed over the iPhone’s tendency to drop calls and suffer other network-related problems.  Well, the Empire has Struck Back.  According to Wired, in an answer to the one of the suits, Apple has stated that:

“Plaintiff’s claims, and those of the purported class, are barred by the fact that the alleged deceptive statements were such that no reasonable person in Plaintiff’s position could have reasonably relied on or misunderstood Apple’s statements as claims of fact.”

So all you reasonable people out there about to purchase an iPhone, listen up: “Twice as Fast.  Half the Price.” really means “Comparisons between iPhone 3G (8GB) and first-generation iPhone (8GB) running on EDGE.  Actual speeds vary by site conditions.”

Catchy slogan, huh?
