More on the iPhone4 issue : June 28, 2010 Apple's iPhone 4: The joke's on us Hold your iPhone the wrong way and it won't work, say users. There is no problem but stay tuned for a solution, says Apple. 'Death grip hysteria' is getting wackier by the minute. Guy walks into an Apple Store, goes to the Genius Bar. He says "My iPhone doesn't work when I hold it like this." The genius says, "Don't hold it like that. Next!" Ba-dum-bum. Thank you, ladies and germs, I got a million of 'em. http://www.infoworld.com/d/adventures-in-it/apples-iphone-4-the-jokes-us-546 ------------------------------------ July 13, 2010 2:08 PM PDT Analyst: iPhone 4 recall would cost $1.5 billion In the wake of Consumer Reports announcing that it would not be recommending the iPhone 4 due to the much-discussed antenna problems, there have been calls for Apple to recall the device. While a recall could be damaging to Apple's reputation, it would also be a costly endeavor, according to some calculations made by Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi. In a research note on Tuesday, Sacconaghi estimated that while "a full product recall of the iPhone 4 (is) highly unlikely," it would cost Apple $1.5 billion, or 3.5 percent of its total cash on hand. http://news.cnet.com/8301-31021_3-20010443-260.html
