Turns out that telling people how they should and should not hold their phone isn’t such a great idea. That’s what Apple told scores of angry iPhone 4 users who complained about reception issues with the new phone. And this week, the lawsuits against Apple began rolling in…four of them so far…and they’re turning into the class-action kind.
The contention is that Apple knew the iPhone 4 had reception issues when gripped a certain way, never disclosed it in their slick marketing, and thus deceived buyers. Other than the lawyers, I’m not sure what the user’s will actually gain if the class-action lawsuits are ever settled…maybe a $20 iTunes gift card. On the bright side, user’s seem to love the quality of the iPhone 4’s video camera(s).

What did I tell you Dave it was a lawsuit waiting to happen. I guess Apple should be following your blog to get legal advice 😛
