iPhone 4 may not have the best features and may not be the most up to date hardware or features. BUT apple have made the features the best on the market. Yes there is a reported antenna fault with the handset but me and many other friends have the ip4 and NONE of us have had problems with it. I believe its just the 1st few batches of iphones that appeared to be faulty. And as for the free bumper, honestly id expect it to be included in the box, the price we pay for the iphone!! Apple are a business and they have done very well to prove that, look at the results, thats not done by failing, they are very sucessful at what they do BUT i will agree that they need to spend more time with their customers and focus on putting things right and giving customers the MAIN priority. But that being said at the end of the day people are aware of the 'fault' now yet people are still buying it like its going out of fashion!!! think about it...

Mobile lovers, read this article about how bad is Apple doing in smartphone market share:
http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2010/07/iphone-second-quarter-2010-in-bloodbath-market-share-is-declining-where-all-big-rivals-picking-up.html
In few words: although the most profitable smartphone maker is Apple yet, but it's also the only company that is loosing market share, the rest is growing up (Nokia, RIM, Samsung, HTC).

Record sales speak for itself. Apple produce excellent products (nothing is perfect but at least iPhone users know we have a superb phone even with its flaws). Oh lets hear the iPhone haters say "r.i.p Apple" and "iPhone killer". There is more chance of seeing Santa Claus sunbathing in a beach in Miami than the mighty Apple rotting.
iPhone = The premier touchscreen mobile device.

You are stupider then the people you claim bought the iphone 4....If they have a Iphone 4 why would they need to go buy another Iphone 4...Think ffs before you post something. Every mobile phone manufacturer claim they have the best device.

NO, THIS CANT BE TRUE!!
Steve Jobs has surely brainwashed over 3 million people! I have seen it! The iphone 4 emits microwave signals that take over brains and FORCE the people to buy the device. It's like the Siren song for sailors. Right now, 3 million more people are being lured in! There's no other explanation! The talk of satisfied customers is a lie!
There's a simple test to perform to find out if a member of your family is converted. They don't complain. They don't brag about the specs on their phone. They dress well.

Obviously the negative opinions and talk of 'sheep' only really reflect the opinions of people who love to discuss phones and deem the designs of multi-billion dollar companies a 'fail' on websites such as this and do not reflect the opinions of the general public.
That's quite a lot of sheep...good thing there are a few galant people on here willing to tell them that they are all wrong eh?

people have to understand that iphone4 arrive at 24 july 2010. For large corporation, those 2 QTR result does not include iphone. Usually, on the 3rd month of each qtr, accounts are usually close between 20 and 25 of the month. To facilitate reporting to the securities. The effect of iphone4 would only be seen during its 3rd quarter result.

I literally mean like sheep, because there was a comment here (but I can't find it again) about he lack of a memory card and the person said "Also Steve said we don't need it." :D :D :D It's like th Jedai in Star Wars when Obi Wan Kenobi used the force to brainwash the soldier. He also said that we don't need an antenna, but why do you need it anyway...

I'll just copy a comment from the other article:
"Phone seller
I work in the industry and the iphone has cause me nothing but trouble since the first one came out. Of all phones they have the highest crash rate and they are pathetically flimsy. Thats why this antenna thing doesn't suprise me. What suprises me is the way they have handled it. Instead of fixing the damn thing, they denied it then gave everyone a cover. Thats like buying a new porshe, finding a huge cut in the leather seats and ten being told to put a seat cover over it.
Buy a samsung galaxy or an xperia x10. These are cheaper, do much more, are way more reliable and use android which is chock full of apps and also allows you to do what ever you want. If i want to send a song to someone who doesn't have an Iphone then i can, i dont need itunes to do the most basic of tasks and i can call anyone i want on 3g video calling oh except for those with an Iphone 4.
On the plus side you guys get me so much commission that's I sometimes feel like I'm a criminal for taking advantage of the mentally handicapped.
Lastly i really just want to say that folders, multi tasking, wifi video calling, secondary cameras and 5mp with HD is seriously 5 year old technology. My 3 last phones have had these features. If you fall for this marketing then your deserve to be ripped off."

See non-iphone users? Lol. Oh ok, yeah sure, you guys are totally right. Apple is finished, lol. And oh also, they failed, lol. And oh also, Apple is going down, lol. And oh also, the ip4 won't sell, hahahahaha.
And as we iphone4 users have been telling you guys. We are very happy with it, and those who come to the Apple Store to try it out are very impressed with it and end up preordering it. And those who have heard all the bad things about it, when they go to the Apple Store and check it out for themselves, at first try to resist it, but then they can't take it off their minds, and end getting it, lol.
But of course, you haters never learn. So what can you say now? Pretty good financial report for a failure huh? Bwahahahahaha
