apple, being the most valuable company they are now, should invest on their own manufacturing departmend, much like samsung. but look where the money goes, to lawsuits and patent trolling. poor apple

Apple is spending all of it money on sueing other companies instead of using that money to buy good copnents and cover for its iphone5 with cheap water paint.i wonder what type of useless excuse they will use this time that the scratchs are part of iphone design apple is taking steps backwards.go wp8 and android keep on going forward.

[deleted post]SGS3 almost 99.9% is made of plastic.
IPhone 5 is almost 99.9% free of plastic because it used mostly aluminum alloy and glass.

DON'T BLAME THE CONTRACT MANUFACTURER - BLAME APPLE OWN R&D FOR NOT DOING ENOUGH HOMEWORK, AND ALSO APPLE'S QC !!

for all those fanboys defending Apple by putting blame over Foxconn
i've two words for you "quality testing"
when a company that uses third party manufacturing site, it always does quality assurance for the products that are coming out
but I guess Apple didn't look on this matter
I still remember Samsung delayed the blue version of s3 because it had very minor finishing issue
but they were too busy suing others
do some quality check you self obsessed money vampires (aka Apple inc)

blowntoaster, 23 Sep 2012hahahaha...look at all these fanboys try and defend Apple. ... moreThis. Especially when you launch only one model per year, and redesign it every 2 years. There's no excuse to release a 'beta build' of of the phone now.

hahahaha...look at all these fanboys try and defend Apple. It's still an Apple product; and whether Foxconn, or whoever does the manufacturing, Apple still has to do product testing to ensure quality and reliability of it's products. They don't just slap the components together and "Wa-la", there you go. Samsung had a back cover issue with the Pebble blue S3's and they fixed it, and quick. Let's see if Apple does the same...or not...pathetic man. you pay an arm and a leg for something that chips and blisters within days...hahahahahaha

mihai, 23 Sep 2012so what? it's not an excuse and apple is responsable for th... moreYou must not confuse public by associating this chipping/dent issue with Apple.
Apple has no control over FoxxCon's management. Apple cant fire FoxxCon's worker who responsibles for this incident.
The only way Apple can do is to replace FoxxCon with a more reliable contract manufacturer.
