Why Apple’s argument is simply flawed
Alright so I know everyone has been talking about this and it has been debated and criticized ad nauseum but this latest press conference was nothing short of a joke. For those of you who are unaware of what happened, let me start from the beginning.
Apple released the iPhone 4 and dubbed it as the best smartphone ever. It was the best smartphone Apple had ever built, it was the best smartphone on Earth and... "there's one more thing... look at the rim. This is also the antenna and is part of some brilliant engineering." (this is more or less what Steve Jobs preached at the iPhone launch). When making this presentation, little did Jobs know (or didn't he?) that this antenna design was going to backfire so gracefully, like a Russian Roulette player who's about to fire the gun against his head for the sixth time in a row. And it did fire.
