We find ourselves at the end of June, soon it’s going to be the start of July and everyone knows what is in store! A brand new iPhone phone is about to become available to consumers on, the 24th of June.

Unbelievably enough the iPhone 4 has it’s share of drama surrounding it, some of the issues as early as April of 2010. In early April, Gizmodo employee Jason Chen purchased a then top secret iPhone 4 prototype model from a unnamed person for the price of $5,000. Gizmodo.com held in depth coverage of the iPhone 4 and even was mentioned on large news networks like FoxNews and MSNBC. His home was later raided by the California Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team and had his PCs seized. The reason for the raid on his house was something to do with industrial espionage; but how could you be guilty of that if all that you’re doing is purchasing something? Youre not stealing it so whats the difficulty.

Then when the iPhone was ready for advance order online, the system stopped working but not before over 600,000 preorders had been processed. Not just that, ATTs computers were suffering from security breaches and people were accessing other peoples accounts incidentally, and being able to view and change other purchasers information. Many are reporting that AT&T stores being closed because of amount of people making an attempt to preorder and the stress of ATTs computers being way overtaxed. ATT in the end had to close off the pre-ordering system due to mass misunderstanding and problems. What they really needed was mobile computer repair Burnsville for their computer network.

Staff member Sam Axon of Mashable.com informed the readers that he was mugged while he was waiting for an iPhone 4 in Chicago. He posted on Twitter the following “I was just mugged while waiting in line for the iPhone 4. Not kidding.” What’s happened to society? And finally, there are reports abound of the iPhone 4 having issues with its hardware. Gizmodo.com is reporting the iPhone 4 will drop all service if the case of the phone is squeezed close to the antenna mount on the side of the case. It just so happens you can make the telephone drop calls by touching to tiny antennas at the same time with your fingertip. The solution is as easy as a miniscule piece of scotch tape, or put the phone in a case. Such a straightforward fix for a $500 gadget but it should not exist in the 1st place?

There is also real evidence that the screen of the iPhone 4 has issues with yellow pixels, bands and splotches on the screen from ordinary use. Most likely Apple won’t repair the problem for free and will claim that the user damaged the LCD themselves. Again, should this be an issue at release or should it have been resolved before the extremely expensive device was sold to the public? Sony found out the hard way years ago with a huge recall for digital camera repair service to fix the CCD sensor on millions of cameras consumers had previously bought.

Apple has a history of releasing cutting edge products, but with the knowledge that the iPhone 4 was going to be as hot as it is, they should have put more thought and time into testing and development. It’s much easier to cope with design issues before you put item into mass production than it is to handle them after the consumer has bought the item. No company wants to have to provide millions of buyers with home computer repair service Prior Lake after the fact. Maybe Apple will learn a valuable lesson from this release.
