Apple Vacancies

[anim8or]

Only 1.7 million won't be, a very small percentage is actually vocal about their problems which is why I think this whole thing will be swept under the rug and forgotten about.

It's become a non issue for me as I've been using my phone flawlessly since day one. Those that aren't so lucky will probably just have to return it.

Return it yes... But when to do so is the real question...?

If this problem is rectified by a hardwae change in future iphone 4s.... then surely apple will have to effectively recall everyphone produced before a certain date, if only to avoid a mass of law suits.

With Websites tearing apart tech to see how it works there will be no way of Apple hiding a hardware change.

If this is such non-issue then why is this forum, one of the biggest on the internet, full of posts about it and why is it making national news?

Uh...Apple is a growing company. That they are adding five new people to a department means nothing.

They're also adding dozens of iTunes engineers. Clearly that's an admission of iTunes failures. And it looks like they're hiring hundredsbof people in sales. Clearly they're suffering in that department.

This thread has no empirical support. It's baseless speculation going off on a company's normal growth of workforce.

Ever heard of y2k?

Or just google mass-hysteria.

For the most part, I think the roar will die down and hopefully Apple will provide a fix - bandaid or not.

Apple has the "benefit" of their device not killing anyone unlike car defects, etc.

Believe me - if iPhone batteries were blowing up; glass spontaneously shattering or some other life threatening issue - it would be MUCH more serious and of concern.

A lot of people will have the issue and either not report it or not notice it. Unfortunate - but true.

I think this was an instance of Apple engineers and designers getting too cute. Even then, it should have been caught by Test Engineering and/or Quality Assurance before going into mass production.

Precisely!

Y2K? WTF, this is an actual issue dumb ass. ALOT of people, including tons that do not even visit forums, are having this issue. Not to mention those that are experiencing it, but have no clue it is a hardware issue, so they'll probably just write it off as ATT's fault.

Don't know if this is a sign of the times or funny coincidence, either way it is a bit humorous.

Read my post, it's a non-issue for me.

In low signal areas, I don't hold the phone by the antenna area, not a difficult concept to adhere to. In areas where I have full bars and great signal, it doesn't matter where I hold the phone, I don't lose signal.

The Iphone 4 actually has better reception and signal strength than the previous models (as proven by Anandtech) The fact that they exposed the antenna just makes it easier to ruin the signal by covering that area when in lower signal areas. Just like if I cover the antenna area of my Droid Eris in my bedroom (a location where both Verizon and AT&T have poor signal for whatever reason) I also lose signal on that phone.

For me, it's a non issue. Again, when I have good signal I hold the phone how I want, when I'm not I make an effort not to cover the antenna. Kind of common sense.


As for media hype? Well, that never effects how I look at things. Doom and gloom media, not something I buy into.

I wonder how many people applied for the job, if I had the skills I would try because then I could be like I work at apple. And when new stuff come out I could be like tha was my idea. Ha ha lol
