The Apple iPhone 4 and antenna-gate ... a reflection

iPhone 4 -  A reflection

Dear people,

Although I vowed not to post anything about it, I just had the urge to do so anyway. And since I am not a robot, but a human (at least I like to think so), I feel I'm entitled to change my mind. And well … so I did.

Here goes.

After all the fuss about the iPhone 4's antenna's reception (and after reading about it, seeing the press conference and God knows what about it), I have drawn my personal conclusion in the 'gate'. If you don't care or don't even want to care, please feel free to click here and have some honest fun.

Still here? Great!

In short:
Apple created (once again) the best smartphone ever. The iPhone 4.
Apple supposedly knew about 'the flaw'.
Apple kinda groveled over it and offered each and every purchaser a free case.

I am an Apple fanatic. So, yes, I tend to be on their side. But hey, don't blame me for that! I survived Windows since 1996, so cut me some slack.

Agreed: Apple should've played with open cards, which they didn't. But then again, was all the criticism justified? Did any other company ever had to endure so much bullcrap over a flaw in the design of one of their products? A loose screw in a Samsung washing machine? No. No because there weren't any loose screws, but because the media didn't find it interesting enough.

And so, Apple had to bite the dust. Unrightfully so, if you ask me. And so you did.

Can't wait for my white one, though …. it has been delayed. Bastards!
