This video showcasing the advantages of the HTC versus the iPhone 4 is so hilarious! If we disregard the slang language, this video shows the “famous iPhone obsession”, from an obsessed fan trying to buy an iPhone 4. The Apple brand is so powerful (Apple is #7 and Google is #1) that all the advantages that a HTC has can’t take the obsession away. There is one strong truth though, the social part of the apps is crucial. Let’s call this a “sect effect”. I felt exactly the same obsession, when I was in California in May 2010, trying to get access to an iPad, and running from one Apple store to the next, until i would finally give up and accept to be on Apple’s waiting list…
Still, this behavior can be surprising, especially when there is a law suit against Apple regarding the iPhone 4malfunctions.
Apple has been criticized by iPhone 4 users and media for the reception problems that seem to result from its faulty antenna design. While all cellphones experience a decrease in signal quality when you touch their antenna, the iPhone 4 design puts the antenna all around it, making difficult to avoid under natural handling of the phone. Cases started to appear in MacRumors.com and Gizmodo.com on June 23, one day before the official launch of the iPhone 4, from users who received their units earlier.
After those first reports, thousands of users started to report reception and transmission problems in different countries around the world, which resulted in loss of internet connectionsand voice call drops and voice quality degradation. Other tests have demonstrated the antenna problems since then.
