Apples reliance on customer loyalty seems to bet getting further abused, early up takers of there technology are once again receiving the brunt of the issues and just like Apples over censorship (now also in the bookstore) reported in the last few days this will create another setback that I?m sure the company could have done with not coming to light at the moment in time.
However for them to neglect the full testing of iOS4 on the 3g , means inturn there neglecting the need of current customers it seems there so focused on ?this changes everything? that they forget what everything is or was and that should be providing full support to current consumers of there products.
It is another setback once again for Apple it will be interesting to see what's next in the news regarding iPhone/iPad issues (antenna, manufacturing and service charges) and their steps to refund cases won?t make up for the iPhone 4's lack of function over form.
But Apple have created such a loyal following that people may just put up with what issues there are for the sake of owning the latest Apple product.
Personally, I'd be happier with an older iPhone - at least then the issues are all ironed out.
However, it's also interesting to see how much excitement new technologies can bring. New technology and innovation is important for new business, illustrated by entrepreneurship grants and new business competitions like http://www.ukesnc.com.
Guess it's not all bad!
