Consumer Reports: Still thumbs down on iPhone 4
"Putting the onus on any owners of a product to obtain a remedy to a design flaw is not acceptable to us," Consumer Reports said.
Citing Apple's decision to discontinue its free-case program for the iPhone 4, the company has decided to maintain its position not recommending Apple's latest smartphone going forward.
"The offer that takes effect next month is less consumer-friendly in several respects," Consumer Reports said about Apple's decision to only offer free "bumper" cases to customers that call it with reports of antenna problems.
"Putting the onus on any owners of a product to obtain a remedy to a design flaw is not acceptable to us," Consumer Reports said. "We therefore continue not to recommend the iPhone 4."
