Re: The real question mark is over the Supply Chain
The 'fact' here is there have been 9 reports from over 10m phones sold - all this suggestion of supply chain issues (when Apple are very keen to keep tabs on the entire 'chain') is just guesswork. In reality it sounds more like people being careless with expensive phones - you probably get the same sort of issue with HTC and Samsung regarding customer bent phones.
I'm amazed quite how quickly their competitors got their adverts created / distributed - smell a rat??
