Comment on Apple Sued Over iPhone 4′s Dodgy Antenna by Tex_Arcana:

Don’t get me wrong, I think they should find a way to fix it, and I think they will. But not in a way that’ll retroactively apply to the older models.

It’s almost a law of the tech industry that anything sold at launch will have problems. Nerds learn this principle. Casual consumers never do.

Note that if this was a safety issue (the phone drops your calls, and then electrocutes you) it would be reasonable to expect a lawsuit, and a retroactive fix. But that’s simply not the case.

  Becomes somewhat questionable in light of Apple being the alternative to many near-monopolies. But I agree that fiscal discipline is a better solution than postpurchase bitching.

  Hey, this (Apple Product) has functional differences from another product made by someone else! How negligent of them to not make sure it operated like a non-apple product! …Now give me some money, so I can buy 3 more. Seriously though, this is why you don’t buy things at launch from ANYONE. It’s not the company’s fault you have more disposable income than common sense.

  If you had a legal system as broken as ours- you’d sue too! Here in Texas, I can sue a mental defective for making bad coffee, and be awarded $50,000 and a ticket to his execution. I cannot, however, be awarded good coffee.

  Ryu is the Yayoi of SF lore. Always at a disadvantage, but he tries so hard. probably leads to much angstwanking.
