Donos do iPad3 podem ganhar novo de graça

Uma ação movida contra a Apple no Brasil poderá o novo tablet da empresa da maçã de graça para os donos do iPad3, logo após o lançamento já era visível a “redução de estoque” nas lojas da Apple, conforme notícia no próprio site MacMagazine.
O motivo é simples, por “obsolência planejada” do iPad, uma vez que o aparelho iPad 4 foi lançado em 23 de outubro do ano passado, ou seja, sete meses depois do iPad 3, e segundo Instituto Brasileiro de Política e Direito da Informática (IBDI) que move a ação, o aparelho foi lançado sabendo que ficaria ultrapassado em pouco tempo.
É fácil argumentar isto porque um aparelho leva de 6 meses a um ano para ser projetado ou atualizado (neste caso seria “upgrade”), portanto a empresa, ou já sabia disto ou iniciou o projeto do “novo” logo em seguida, ou até mesmo já estava em curso.
Além de receber o novo aparelho poderá haver uma multa, que segundo a ação, dependerá do número de compradores, o IBDI não tem este valor total que a Apple pode ser obrigada a pagar.
O iPad 3 começou a ser vendido no Brasil, num preço em torno de R$ 1.700 a R$ 2,300.
