Apple iPhone 4 Was Released Along With Several Operational Problems
Soon it's going to be the beginning of July and everyone knows what that means! A brand new iPhone model is preparing to become available to consumers.
Already the iPhone 4 has it's fair share of drama around the release, some of the issues as early as Apr of 2010. In early Apr, Gizmodo employee Jason Chen purchased a then secret iPhone 4 prototype model from a unnamed person for the price of $5,000. Gizmodo.com held in depth coverage of the iPhone 4 and even was discussed on large reports networks like FoxNews and CNN. His place was later raided by the California Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team and had his PCs grabbed. The explanation for the raid on his house was something to do with economic espionage; but how was he guilty of that if all that you are doing is purchasing something? Youre not stealing it so whats the problem.
Then when the iPhone was ready for pre-order online, the system stopped working after over six hundred thousand preorders had been taken. Not only that, ATTs computers were suffering from security breaks and people were accessing other peoples accounts incidentally, and being able to see and edit other customers information. Many are reporting that AT&T shops being shut down because of amount of folk trying to preorder and the strain of ATTs computers being far too overloaded. Finally, after hours of misunderstanding and errors, ATT and shut down the pre-order system. Seems like they needed some computer geeks for their computer network.
Mashable reporter Sam Axon reported being mugged while standing in a queue for the iPhone earlier today in Chicago. His tweet on Twitter was as follows "I was just mugged while waiting in line for the iPhone 4. Not kidding." What has happened to society? And finally, there are reports abound of the iPhone 4 having issues with its hardware. Gizmodo has let slip that the phone drops calls if a finger is placed on a certain little spot on the lower left side of the body. It turns out that you can bridge 2 antenna with your finger which will cause the phone to drop calls. The solution is as simple as a miniscule piece of scotch tape, or put the phone in a case. Its a straightforward fix but for five hundred dollars should this really be an issue?
There is also real evidence the screen of the iPhone 4 has issues with yellow pixels, bands and splotches on the screen from standard use. Most likely Apple will not repair the problem for free and will claim the user damaged the LCD themselves. Unlike digital camera parts, most people can't repair an iPhone themselves. Again, should this be a problem at release or should it have been fixed before the absurdly pricey device was sold to the public? Sony learned that lesson some time ago with a huge recall for digital camera repair to fix the CCD sensor on millions of cameras consumers had previously bought.
Apple has a history of releasing awesome devices, but with the certainty that the iPhone 4 was going to be as well liked as it is, they really should have invested more in research and development. It's much easier to handle design issues before you put item into mass production than it is to handle them after the patron has acquired the item. No company wants to have to provide millions of buyers with problems after they purchase a product. Maybe Apple will learn a valuable lesson from this release.
