I agree, but leave it to the government to mess things up and make it so you can't have a smart phone on a plane or something stupid like that.
Did the government actually do that, or is this just one of your pet theories?

Wow, quite a series of events there. How common is it even to repair an iPhone display at an unauthorized service center?? I'd never even think the thought, given the risks.

Think back to 'O' Rings . . .
Wow! Who would think a little misplaced screw could do all that damage! Although I'm relieved it wasn't a hardware defect.
But it's a good lesson to all of us. If you're doing the repair yourself be extra careful! Or if you're getting your device repaired elsewhere be careful who you choose.
Unfortunately, I think most of the readership here was born well after the O ring incident...

Wait, the Australian government, not Apple, researched the issue and discovered this fault? Seems odd that Apple wouldn't have taken the device and investigated themselves.
What if this was an the new ipad with it's huge battery, that would cause even more danger, or a laptop battery.
That's the main problem, the bigger capacities batteries get the more chance they may explode (short circuit).

I'll give you that but that screw is way too big for any part of the iPhone 4, I can assure you. :] Belongs in an HTC phone, I'd assume.

US, my hometown is Florida. We're all across the nation though. I guess I should have stated one of the biggest in the US and not made such a general statement, lol.

Seems odd that Apple wouldn't have taken the device and investigated themselves... seems like they have a lot more at stake than the Australian government... then again, had Apple done it, I get the idea Apple wouldn't have released the results, just because Apple tends to keep what they say to a minimum...
