Apple’s Stock Market Takes A Toll

(Yahoo.com)

With the recent speculations and news regarding the iPhone 4′s antenna problem as well as Consumers Report regarding the iPhone 4,encouraging people not to buy it because of the antenna problem, the stock market for Apple has taken a toll! Apparently their stocks has dropped eight percent as of Wednesday morning. Regardless of this, there are still indications that demand for devices is still brisk.

Multiple analyst told WSJ that they won’t be expecting Apple to recall the iPhone 4 because it only ‘affects some units and can be fixed by using a protective case over the phone’.

In addition to that, Consumer Reports ,which sparked the controversy of recommending everyone not to get the iPhone 4, has actually provoked Apple further with a recent post demanding Apple to remedy this situation.

In our reporting and a video yesterday, we made the point that the signal drop th

at iPhone 4 customers have observed when they hold their phones the “wrong” way is real—and we’ve called on Apple to do something about it. In an earlier statement, the company noted that attenuated performance is a “fact of life” for every wireless phone. Apple suggested [link] owners mitigate the problem by holding the phone differently or purchasing a case. But those solutions put the onus on consumers and

skirt Apple’s obligation to offer a product that works consistently and reliably out of the box.

We think it’s the company’s responsibility to provide the fix — at no extra cost to consumers.
