I’ve been following the iPhone 4 news, and I don’t think a recall will ever happen because:

・It’s almost a billion dollars cheaper for Apple to send out free iPhone 4 cases, which they already manufacture. (It’s just serendipitous that everyone already buys cases anyways.)

・People who purchase the iPhone 4 are now able to return undamaged products for a full refund—no restocking fee required. So customers always have the option to just return it if they don’t like it, but no one is returning it because they’d rather sue Apple for fraud o_O? (Not going to happen.)

・The iPhone 4 is still the best selling smartphone on the market. With high demand despite the design flaw. And since consumers would rather have a bad iPhone than no iPhone, financially it doesn’t make sense for Apple. (Commenter quote: “Someone please return your iPhone 4 so I can buy it.”)

・The only thing Apple has to worry about is its customer service reputation. But if you think about it Steve Jobs is a genius for fucking up Apple’s response to this “crisis.” This means that if Apple does ANYTHING to help now, the consumers will be at least a little bit happier than they are now and Apple stocks will shoot up 3-4%.

As a side note, people saying that this debacle is akin to the Toyota recall are the stupidest people on the earth. No one’s life is in danger, and—again, I must reiterate—people have the option to GET THEIR MONEY BACK IF THEY WANT.

I miss anything here?

Also, hello blog. It’s been a while, but I’m coming back.
