That is true, but when you consider that most Apple stuff is "designed in California" but made in suicide camps, er, I mean, overseas production facilities...
Meanwhile, although the Force is strong in this one, this is one time Steve Jobs can't pull that Jedi mind trick and expect us to fall for it:
Mashable:
"Leaked Docs Show Apple Knows About iPhone 4's Flaws""According to documents leaked to
Boy Genius Report today, AppleCare representatives are being given a strong company line to deliver to unhappy iPhone 4 owners who complain about reception issues.
Employees are told to say that the device's reception performance "is the best we have ever shipped" and that its
critical antenna flaws are "a fact of life in the wireless world." They are told not to perform service on iPhones with these problems and instead to give customers a PR-driven recitative instead.
In a nutshell, Apple knows the phone has problems but will insist that users are simply "holding it wrong."
These statements are dead ringers for CEO
Steve Jobs's own assertions that the iPhone 4 antenna and reception issues do not, in fact, exist.
"There is no reception issue," he told one user. But the very fact that this document exists suggests that Apple execs know there is indeed a widespread hardware flaw, even if they're **86** to address it publicly at this time.
Outside the reality distortion field, on the other hand, we and many others have been able to duplicate the issue being discussed: When held by its sides, which are composed of a metal antenna band, the phone's reception quality drops dramatically. iPhone owners in our newsroom have seen reception decrease from five to two bars simply from holding the phone with two points of contact between the owners hand and the antenna band.
One law firm is even preparing for a
class-action lawsuit against Apple and is soliciting iPhone 4 customers to contact them about reception issues...."
