iPhone 3G Problems – A Proof!

posted in gadgets, by Codrut Nistor


Lately, I got myself into a lot of virtual fights regarding the issues had by Apple's iPhone. If you look at those over 200 comments of the iPhone 3G problems article, you'll surely notice that a lot of people have real problems, but here and there pops up some Apple fan saying it's all about the user. I don't have anything against Apple or the iPhone, but one of the latest comments got my attention, and I considered talking about it here. First, take a look at the movie below...

...and now let's see what can be said about it. This is no fake, for sure, so let's take this out of the question, shall we? Now, talking about what could be wrong with the iPhone not working properly... that's a good idea!

I won't get into a longer debate, so I'll only give you my five cents here - it is possible that Apple allowed iPhones with different components to hit the market, so some of the iPhone 3G handsets currently available are less capable then the others.
I don't know anything certain regarding this, of course, but if we look back at those days when Foxconn ramped up production to about 800,000 iPhones per week, there were some concerns regarding the accuracy of the quality assurance process(this production number was a bit beyond Foxconn's nominal capacity, if I recall it well), and strange things as what's happening in the movie here may be the result of accelerating iPhone production.

Other than the above, I am clueless. If you have any better idea, please enlighten me, but until Roy decides to take apart those two iPhones and check what's inside them, nothing can be sure. I guess he won't do that, anyway, since that would surely void the warranty, but what if, by doing this, he would discover that two iPhones, which are supposed to be the same, are different?
