Ok, now this is getting more stupid.
First Apple blames the users of their new iPhone 4 for not holding the phone the right way that eventually results in signal loss. When people complained how arrogant Apple was, they backtracked and now claims that, yeah there’s a problem with all iPhones.
You really didn’t have good signal in the first place: the iPhone was just exaggerating with its signal strength indicator so that iPhone users can feel great and brag about how good their reception is.
Here’s what I’m reading here:
- Apple is trying to cover up the design flaw of the new iPhone 4 by creating a new problem that’s easier to fix (software upgrade, anyone?)
- Apple assumed that iPhone users will accept everything they say, but realized that not all iPhone users are fanboys and brand lunatics, and some actually can think for themselves.
- Apple’s quality control department is not so good with their jobs. How can you miss sudden signal strength drops? Do their QAs actually use the iPhone? I knew people working as QAs in Motorola and they tell me that they use those prototypes until they break them. That’s the way to test phones.
