The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission on Tuesday claimed that Apple is using misleading promotions for <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/03/19/a-new-ipad-review/">its new iPad tablet</a>, <em>Reuters</em> reported. The ACCC will ask an Australian high court on Wednesday to order the Cupertino-based company to make customers aware of the true technical capabilities of the device, correct its current advertising and refund any affected buyers. <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/03/07/ipad-hd-is-here-retina-display-and-more/">Apple’s newest iPad can utilize 4G LTE networks</a>, however it can only do so in North America. The company has still advertised the device as a “4G” tablet in countries where it is not compatible. Australian carrier Telstra offers the country’s only 4G LTE network, but it uses different spectrum than carriers in the United States and Canada. <span id="more-133375"></span>
