Apple iPhone 4 is Now Available Along With Several Operational Issues

We find ourselves at the end of June, shortly it is going to be the start of July and we all know what that means! A new iPhone model is about to be released to customers on, the 24th of June.

Unbelievably enough the iPhone 4 has it’s fair share of drama around the release, some of it started as early as Apr of 2010. In early Apr, Gizmodo staff member Jason Chen acquired a then top secret iPhone 4 prototype model from a unnamed source for a sum of $5,000. Gizmodo.com held extensive coverage of the iPhone 4 and even was mentioned on large stories channels like FoxNews and CNN. His house was later ransacked by the California Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team and had his computers seized. The reason for the raid on his domicile was something to do with commercial espionage; but how could you be guilty of that if all that you’re doing is purchasing something? Youre not stealing it so whats the issue.

Then when the iPhone was available for pre order online, the system stopped working after over six hundred thousand preorders had been registered. Not only that, ATTs systems were suffering from security breaches and folks were accessing other peoples accounts incidentally, and being able to read and change other patrons information. Many are reporting that AT&T shops being closed because of amount of people attempting to preorder and the stress of ATTs systems being way overtaxed. ATT in the end had to shut off the pre-ordering system due to mass misunderstanding and problems. Seems like they needed some computer virus removal Burnsville to keep their system up and running.

Mashable journalist Sam Axon reported being mugged while standing in a queue for the iPhone 4 earlier today in Chicago. He posted on Twitter the following “I was just mugged while waiting in line for the iPhone 4. Not kidding.” What’s this world coming to? And finally, there are reports abound of the iPhone 4 having issues with its hardware. Gizmodo.com is reporting the iPhone 4 will drop all service if the case of the phone is squeezed near the antenna mount on the side of the case. It just so happens that you can make the telephone drop calls by touching to small antennas at the same time with your fingertip. The solution is as straightforward as a tiny piece of scotch tape, or put the phone in a case. Its a simple fix but for five hundred dollars should this really be an issue?

People have produced evidence that the LCD viewscreen of the iPhone 4 has issues with displaying errant yellow pixels, stripes and spots just from normal useage. Most likely Apple won’t mend the problem for free and will claim that the user damaged the LCD themselves. Honestly, that problem should not exist when the pricey product hits the open market. Sony found out the hard way some time ago with a huge recall for digital camera repair to fix the CCD sensor on millions of cameras consumers had purchased.

Apple has a record of making excellent devices, but with the realization that the iPhone 4 was going to be as hot as it is, they really should have invested more in research and development. It’s far easier to handle design issues before you put item into mass production than it is to handle them after the consumer has acquired the item. You don’t want to have to provide millions of buyers with mobile computer repair Prior Lake after they purchase a product. Hopefully the bigwigs at Apple will remember this experience when producing gadgets in the future.
