    Someone, 27 Jul 2010Apple change their CEO?? Don't be ridiculous. Do you kno... moreAnd he will also make apple go down by his ego.

    This is about the same problem when he has the apple before he were ousted by Gill Amelio. Too much ego from 1 little man.

    I really think that Michael Dell was right. Apple better change his CEO or just disband the company and give the shareholder the money.... before being sue and declare bankruptcy.

        Do you know anything about Apple?

        Do you know about the 90's when Apple were almost 90 days away from Bankruptcy??

        Microsoft buying Apple shares and then selling them a few years too early???

        The flop of the Newton? The selling of expensive Mac's next to cheap PC's before the Apple store was created??

        Of course you don't.

        Steve Jobs has turned Apple around from all of that and into the biggest computer company in the world.

        A string of successes. iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro's for the design industry, iPod and iPhone.

        One of the greatest CEO's in business of any company ever, computers or otherwise!!

          when apple decide to fix this issue rather than hide it behind samsung and the others, they will ask the mobile operators to fix them through their repair centres most likely and the ressesion will be over as apple will have given all the icowards money away lol

            I think apple make a st*p*d moves by challenging this problem to backfire against them forever and ever. Apple could apologize, do a recall and saves their brand and face, but they choose to LIE.

            German Stiftung Warentest and Consumer report won't be the last to report this problem. More and more independent will publish this kind of report all over the world. And I think GSM arena should devote a test review about this too.

            This will really hurt apple reputation. And make the elite status of the iphone gone. the elite will be afraid to use iphone because they don't want to be considered st*p*d.

            I really think apple need to change their CEO.

                Spec wise, no, it's not the best... far from it. But when you look at the whole package, it is what it is: the most popular phone there is.

                Before the iPhone, the specs is what make a phone. But now, it is the apps that's what really makes a phone useful and popular. Couple that with the smoothest interface, it doesn't have to have top specs to be number one. This is fact.

                Windows isn't the best OS. But 85% of people use it. Why? Because most software are made for Windows.

                    Well that's expected. Apple decided to do it's own commercial pretending it's not the only phone that has the problem. Although to point out they did themselves instead of a 3rd party.

                    Poor apple trying to blame others rather then to look to fix the problem.

                          Industry, 27 Jul 2010I work in a phone store in the London, UK. It doesn't ma... moreBut dont forget about the return rate on the iphone4 is also high too. i also work in the trade too and there is high demand for this phone but only because people are buying the phones blind without testing it 1st. Retailers are not bothered about the fault on the phone aslong as they get a sale thats all that matters and retailers are not allowed to say anything negative about the iphone4 otherwise they will get a disciplinary from their clients(apple) and then are in risk of losing the contract with Apple. So that is the only reason why you are selling the iphone4 in your store in LONDON because you are not being honest with the customer. Shame on you 'Mx@E'

                                  I think everyone should have this excellent accessory with the iphone 4. Forget bumper cases and plastic sleeves. I am going to get one at the apple store. You need to reserve one. Lol. Please see link.

                                    Anonymous, 27 Jul 2010Just a question. Would you like humans to adapt to tech... moreI think we adapted to technology a long time ago. Even before the Iphone was made we evolved around it to make our lives easier, more comfortable and we made it a necessity to have it. Now we are just buying things that might be only used a few times and because our neighbours/friends has one we feel jealous to have something better than them. Also its the media nowadays that makes us want to buy it. I guess if we were living like hermits we would be multi millionaires by now. Instead we part with our money to other people to make them rich. Sooner or later the Iphone 4 will be replaced by the 5, 6, 7...its never ending. I don't think technology can ever evolve around us.

                                      Just a question.

                                      Would you like humans to adapt to technology or you would like the technology to be adapted for humans ?

                                      I guess the answer is no brainier. For people who think otherwise I've got another question.

                                      Do you exist because your phone exists or our phone exists because you do.

                                        Philips don't make mobile phone anymore (only Asia and made by CEC until 2012/2013), SE don't make a great device really high end actually and iPhone is the most usefull, easy to use, smooth and great device.
                                        A success make often jealousy!
