A disgruntled customer is suing Apple over reportedly poor performance from her 3G iPhone. For whatever reason, no mention is made of AT&T, which actually delivers and manages the service. I don't like the chances of this case.

"In or around the Summer of 2008, Apple began marketing and put out for consumption the Defective iPhone 3G," according to a copy of the complaint obtained by BetaNews. "The release for consumption of the Defective iPhone 3G was preceded and followed by an aggressive marketing campaign, which included radio, television, and paper advertisements. One could barely turn on the television without hearing that the new iPhone 3G was 'twice as fast for half the price.'"

If the signal quality is poor in the customer's area, no fix by Apple (or any other handset manufacturer)will correct that.
