A conspiracy theory coming up. Apple intentionally made the signal issue for more publicity than the iPhone already had. Sure, they might lose a couple of hundred customers in the beginning but they'll gain A LOT more in the long run.

Headlines @ iPhone release:

APPLE IPHONE 4 HERE! GO GRAB IT!!! PRE ORDER NOW!!!

Sales go up...

...signal issues blablabla

Resulted i headlines like these:

APPLE'S NEW PRODUCT FLAWED AND CARRIES ISSUES!

sales go down...

Apple fixes problem and is dubbed hero.

Headlines:

IPHONE 4 UPDATE ARRIVES, IT IS NOW PERFECT, AGAIN! GO GRAB IT!!!

sales go up...


Frikkin' genius :apple:
 
I know I saw someone post this same kind of crap yesterday. Anyway, no, Apple didn’t do that, unless they’re about to sell themselves to Microsoft.
 
People accused Coca-Cola of removing the original coke and replacing it with "new coke" to cause a fury so they could bring back the original and increase sales.

When asked - the CEO gave the best quote of all time.

"The truth is - we're not that dumb - and we're not that smart"
 
If the OP were running our Country...we'd all be drinking Russian Vodka!!!!!! 😀


Dude, Apple would be retarded to do that. Truuuuust me.

Hey wait... maybe Toyota is trying to sell more vehicles by creating a recall... 🙄
 
crack maybe, weed isn't strong enough to elicit this level of crazy talk.
Haha hilarious ****, I was actually joking but sh't does people get easily fueled here, i like it.

Whatevs, I'm so getting an iPhone 4, we won't get that signal issue here in Swedaan, we're immune to that ****.
