Ok, folks, something’s up with Apple.
Even the Apple haters out there usually admit that Apple creates polished products- they tend to not cut corners on manufacturing, and give their users a high quality product that is user friendly. This, at least, was the justification for the higher price tag on Apple products despite being proprietary and often lacking competitive features.
Apparently, that trend is changing…
In Apple Forums across the internet, rumors have emerged that the white 3G iPhone body starts to crack without reason.
At first this was dismissed as rumor, but now even Engadget’s model (which they claim has been babied in their labs) has started to develop cracks!
Between this, the horrible battery life, the activation issues, and the whole Mobile Me fiasco (which Jobs even apologized for in an internal letter! - thanks Fabrizio for posting this somewhere I can link to!), its hard to say Apple has the same higher standards for their product and user experience that they appeared to have before.
Hmm…
