I wish Steve was still here. Hey, didn't he have a son?
This is getting old. Steve allowed the release of the iPhone 4 with the antenna gate and Steve allowed the release of mobile me. He also allowed the release of many flawed products and various broken OS releases. It's time to move on now.
Steve Jobs was a brilliant, yet flawed, genius. He wasn't perfect. No person is. How would Steve have handled this? Probably in a similar fashion to the antenna problem... "You're holding it wrong". And then a couple of weeks later Apple had to admit that it was a problem with an official statement and give out free covers. That did not make Apple look like a professional company.
Tim Cook has my utmost respect for releasing this statement instead of arguing with users over email or keeping quiet and pretending the problem does not exist. Having said that, I think the problem has been blown way out of proportion.
It's time to grow up, remove those rose-tinted glasses and move on. Trying to pretend to know what Mr Jobs would have done in this situation is pointless and disrespectful.
