He also declined to comment on the revelation of Consumer Reports stating that the fourth generation iPhone was not worth buying. In other words, it is not recommended because of signal problems.
Consumer Reports is a nonprofit institution that is trusted to give an objective assessment of the quality of a product. Impact of Consumer Reports statement made Apple stock plummeted. Apple’s explanation that weak signal problems caused by antenna function disrupted if a user touches the bottom left side of the device did not answer the question. The reason is because most Apple users are left-handed.
Apple then provides solutions by offering a rubber casing that protects the antenna work, but of course the casing is not free. But lately, Apple acknowledged that the weak signal on the iPhone 4 was not caused or antenna design problems, but because of bad software that is embedded in the gadget itself.
If the company wants to pull the iPhone 4 which has sold more than 1.7 million within three days, analysts expect that Apple will spend U.S. $ 1.5 billion. Consumer Reports suggest that Apple give the rubber casing freely to the consumers.
