Apple Ordered 4 Million New iPhones for Q2 2009?

[MikeTheC]

The GSM-based phones I've used or owned had issues with subsampling and other audio quality problems that I've never had with CDMA phones. Also, you can't get anywhere near most speakers or other audio gear without that gawd-awful squelch. In fact, you can hear that "chatter" sound in news broadcasts from GSM and Nextel phones, simply due to interference.

However, I doubt Steve listens all that closely to the Almighty when it comes to technology decisions.

My Sony CDMA phone does the same thing. So did my roommates Sony CDMA phone. It's not the technology as much as the interference put out by certain components/models.
