iPhone 4 Recall [modified]

But they did! Didn't Steve 'his holiness' Jobs say it was just a software glitch? And besides that Apple aren't wrong, if you suffer loss of signals then you are 'holding it wrong'. :rolleyes: :-D

And if it catches fire, have you "plugged it in wrong"? Or is that a software glitch, too? :laugh:

They actually wanted a way to market that rubber bumper thing, and call it an iCondom.
.45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

I'm waiting for Apple to release a newer version (iPhone Unleashed) which fixes the problems and is more expensive, providing everybody on a contract involving an iPhone 4 with the option to switch to the newer version for a sum of money (maybe about £75.)

I am astonished that Apple didn't find this issue in testing; however, once found they should deal with ti but, like all large companies, they just hoped it would all go away as Toyoda did with all of their recent issues. Be so much better for a companies image if the just fessed up and fixed it.

Fix it? Recall? Ha... They just apply The Formula
A = The number of IPhones sold B = The probability of a customer suing over the problem C = The average cost of an out-of-court settlement A * B * C = X If X is less than the cost of a recall, they don't do one.

"A number of PR experts contacted by Cult of Mac blog yesterday said a recall of the iPhone 4 was "inevitable,"" "a number" ? zero is a number. "PR experts" ? so, it's speculation from an unspecified number of people. yay.

They were planning to develop a line of mp3 players for children, but market research showed that iTouch Kids would only sell in the Vatican. *runsandhides* //L
So running and hiding is a valid strategy after all?
A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

initially I did read that he said that Iphone 4 users were holding the phone wrong they shouldn't hold it at the bottom especially the left. A few weeks later they announced that it was a software glitch

Honestly, I'm not sure. I spent a few months as an au pair in France, I guess it kindda stuck with me. //L
Oh please, not that subject. I have met people from France who did not like me just because my grandfather once came for a visit about 70 years ago.

Guys, how many times do you ahve to be told? The iPhone is fine, apart from the software glitch that shows the signal strength incorrectly. You are just holding it wrong. Sheesh.
