          Dear All iPhone Lovers,

          Today is the day that iPhone 4 is launched. And today is the day that your faith is tested by the non-ibeliever.

          Please show your faith by NOT believe any of those non-ibeliever said about our great iPhone 4 flaw. They just envy that their loved phone manufacture can't produce a product as flawless as our GREAT iPhone 4.

          There is more that we want you to do. Show your support by buying our share. The AAPL on nasdaq. The share will be priced very good because of the non-ibeliever and non-ijournalist write in a couple of day. It's really a great time to show your support and a great time to buy such a share at a very low price.

          It is very important for all of us that APPL share rebound to the level before this 'fiasco' because if it's don't, the non-ijournalist will persuade the non-ibeliever not to buy our product, thus making us unprofitable, and will make you're not getting the iphone 5 next year.

          I really wish that you show your faith in us so that we can deliver an even greater phone next year.

          Thanks

            `sigh

            Apple is using a bonding agent called Organofunctional Silane Z-6011 to bond the layers of glass. Apparently, Apple (or more likely Foxconn) is shipping these products so quickly that the evaporation process is not complete. However, after one or two days of use, especially with the screen on, will complete the evaporation process and the yellow "blotches" will disappear.!!it never happened to other phones becuz ppl demand too much they have to manufacture it fast i mean real fast sumtime ppl demand too much lol oh yea u guys never heard "demand too much " in any other phone news i forgot ..

            alredy prove by users... now SHUT UP !!

                        I was really starting to get caught up in Iphone fever like everyone else. So much so that I was planning to switch over to the Iphone 4 in a couple of months. Thanks GSM Arena and to all those that contributed in pointing out how overhyped this phone has been. At one point I was starting to believe that the iphone was the savior to everything in life and to plan my life around the phone rather than vice versa.......nah, i don't think so. I'll just be more cautious before I purchase it.

                            Sudhir Singh, 24 Jun 2010It's amusing that GSM Arena doesn't take a moment to report... morePhones rating is not done by Gsmarena. It is done by the people.

                            IPhone has such a low rating because people who buy it are not happy with it.

                            Look as Samsung Wave's rating. Its the highest rated phone ever.

                            When Wave was announced it was just 8.7 but just after its realise it jumped to 9.1 9.1 9.1

                            Why?

                            Because you get the features you pay for and people are happy with their Wave.

                            IPhone is featureless and overpriced..

                                        It's amusing that GSM Arena doesn't take a moment to report anything adverse on the Apple iPhone. If only you counter balanced this by clarifying that none of the initial glitches have ever affected the iPhone's continued record shattering sales and iconic status.

                                        Not once have you had the professionalism to admit that the iPhone is a game changer. It has done to mobility in three years what established phone makers like Nokia and RIM with their jaded OSes have failed to do in decades.

                                        Your bias is evident from the bafflingly low ratings of the iPhone. You have consistently given all its models no more than 6.5-7 out of 10 points. Which would have been fine if you were scrupulously fair in your judgement. But when you give a bad phone like the Nokia E72 (with its scandalously inadequate free RAM) an 8-8.5, you give the game away. Grow up GSM Arena! Millions of buyers are voting for the iPhone with their purses.

                                        Now before you jump to conclusions, let me assure you that these aren't the thoughts of an irate iPhone owner. Just someone who understands product excellence. Any product. Even if it happens to be Google Android, Apple's bitter rival.
