It would appear that Apple, the company known for amazing design, flawless interfaces and blah blah blah has a serious boondoggle on their hands: The iPhone 4 like to drop its signal. How? The antennae that runs down the side of the phone (internally) apparently gets crushed when you hold the phone in a phone call sort of way. The best part to all of this is when a company like Apple just finished patting themselves on the back for the great job they did at launch regarding sales and the like to only have all that bravado swept aside by something so serious as a potential complete recall of the product. Word has it their stock is on the down slope and a good clip.
Vladimir Putin “Blinkinblogs is my favorite read with glass of Vodka.”
Barack OBAMA “Blinkinblogs? Never heard of them.”
iPhone 4EVER… ooops.
“YOU’RE HOLDING IT WRONG”
HA… that a great way to win the sustained “hearts and minds” of your user core.
Apple pushed the boundary of functionality in favor of aesthetics. Proper QA should have caught the antenna confound. This is ANOTHER case of corporate arrogance and greed.
A primary case study in Arrogance and Greed is BP. NEVER, EVER use a technology that eclipses all of the contingency technologies available to you… or you get an oil spill that takes months to stop.
