                I also wouldn't be surprised if Apple tried to sue Audi for having an A5 car or paper manufacturers for A5 size sheets of paper.

                  like at iphone4's problems with radio signal, solved with a horrible sillicon bumper, apple will provide a solution for a5 problem: a separated ventilator, sold after with 100 euro, called ivent
