To be honest, I am an Apple fan and I love all their products. And yes, this minor problem has been blown out of proportion, but maybe its necessary.Apple is now the 2nd biggest company in the world I believe, and monopolizing the exponentially growing smartphone company would create complete dominance.So perhaps Apple needs this intense scrutiny because the last thing anyone would want is for the makers of the new iphones to get lazy. But even then, I don't feel comfortable with one company creating a mobile device that is leagues beyond the others and is preferred above all else.   See 3 other replies

I agree with J Marks. The media is blowing this way out of proportion, JUST like they did with swine flu. Only an idiot (Top Commenter) wouldn't be able, or wouldn't want to, accept that the news industry is just getting all excited that the otherwise outstandingly diverse and morally driven company (as a whole, I know some of the people there aren't exactly sticking with the best ethics) made a mistake. Thats what the media does. It twists and turns a story until it makes their readers gasp in surprise, and in some cases with really unintelligent individuals, encourages them to spread the false news. They're nothing more than symbiotic nuisances that are taken way to seriously, because people have a primal need to be apart of something bigger than them. Apple is one of the most honorable and innovative companies out there, and its the media's job to make them seem dirty, slimy, and parasitic, just like they do with people.   See 3 other replies

iPhone 4 has an exceedingly high build quality. I've had mine since June 23rd and have not had any problems with it. The majority of owners do not have any problems either, beyond those of owning any smart phone.When you factor in what less than 1% of 3,000,000 is, you'll get an idea of the amount of people who own one, who are actually complaining. Over a month now, the media has been bouncing this story around and Apple still can't keep up with consumer demand.We live in an age where the vocal minority drives the story and this is another prime example of it. The facts are that this is Apple's most successful product launch and they have seen their profits soar by billions of dollars. If Consumer Reports hadn't gotten involved, Apple would very likely be taking a much different approach. But now it has become necessary to show that the antenna issues are not unique to Apple, but are in reality a problem for the entire industry right now.It will no doubt help to drive future innovations and technologies that will benefit everyone.   See 3 other replies
