iPhone 4 Problems are Causing Lawsuits and Reception Problems (NASDAQ:AAPL)
July 15th, 2010
iPhone 4 Problems are Causing Lawsuits and Reception Problems (NASDAQ:AAPL). Apple iPhone 4 problems are causing a variety of issues. First, a class action lawsuit has been filed against Apple stating that they are trying to hide the design flaw from the customer. Second, many customers are very, very frustrated that their couple hundred dollar smartphone (that they waited outside for four hours in the blistering heat to get) drops a call whenever they touch a part of the antenna.
Consumer Reports refuses to recommend the iPhone 4 because of the reception problems. Steve Jobs simply told users to stop holding the phone in the way which caused the reception issues. Consumers are advising each other to put scotch tape or duct tape over the portion of the phone that you cannot touch.
According to Apple Insider, “Apple has been accused of violation of the Federal Communications Act, three counts of products liability related to negligence, defect in design and breach of implied warranty, intentional and negligent misrepresentation, fraud by concealment, unfair business practices and more.”
Ouch. That can’t be good!
Many are wondering why Apple isn’t working on a feasible fix. The company recently came out saying that the reason that calls drop is because there is a software glitch that shows more “bars” in areas where there aren’t as many for reception. The Consumer Reports testing results questioned this reasoning, further adding to frustrations.
Stay tuned to find out what’s next for the Cupertino, California based company! Apple’s stock price is currently at $252.73 or up $.93 from the previous day close.
