Conspiracy theory: Apple intentionally made the signal issue to get publicity.

[frosse]

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

PR EPIC FAIL. No. This was not in the Apple PR "plan."

 

[Sustainability]

You're an idiot. Take some business courses.

 

[Melodeath]

Oh boy...

I doubt it. Not everything Apple does is on purpose.

Ultimate fail post.

 

[JonB3Z]

No. Despite the old saying, there really is such a thing as bad publicity.

 

[Roessnakhan]

I'm so going to run out right now and buy an iPhone just to see if I have antenna issues.

 

[MT0227]

Does the iPhone really need any publicity?

 

[-aggie-]

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.

Conspiracy theory: I'm constipated today because the government secretly stuck a probe up my ass last night.

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...

I' sure the iPhone had something to do with the JFK assassination; 911 and the BP oil spill.
