For those of you who are in denial of the antenna issue, trust me, its a real issue. Many people are reporting antenna issues when held in a natural position left handed. Trusted sites such as Anandtech.com have done in depth analysis that prove its real.
For those of you who are pissed off about it, return the phone. You have 30 days to do so. No one is holding a gun to your head. This is capitalism at its finest. Vote with your dollars. If the phone antenna issue is that big of a deal to you, take it back and buy another phone.
The real issue here is the fact that Apple continues to deny the antenna issue. They released a statement on 7/2/10 simply stating that the antenna status visual was a problem. They didn't even admit the antenna issue. This is clearly unethical behavior.
Business ethics in America have been on the decline for decades now. We all know the whole Enron ordeal, and lets not talk about the sub-prime lending that caused pretty much the whole world to spin. Yeah I know the antenna issue isn't a human rights world wide importance, but this issue is making headlines around the modern world.
As a proud American, I am not pleased with how Apple is handling this issue. I love Apple products. And I also own some stock. I want to see them succeed. But taking lessons from companies that are not ethical and avoid real issues will cause a long term negative effect. Just take a look at GM and Ford. Only recently have they rebounded. But even then, its going to take years for them to take back the lead. And thats a maybe as long as they keep improving the quality and address issues. Had GM and Ford taken a more ethical approach, maybe all of us (American's) would have had to give GM some of our money to keep them afloat.
Monkey see, monkey do. If Apple gets away with this, we'll see a whole new generation of American companies that will have similar business ethics to Apple's. Denying issues and covering up complaints.
If Apple continues to deny these antenna issues, what other issues will they ignore and act unethically about in the future? If Apple doesn't take a more ethical approach, I see nothing but trouble and another black eye for American businesses. As the second largest company in America, I am ashamed at Apples actions. They needs to take more responsibilities for their actions, and own up to their mistake. Thats being a true American.
