Tim Cook has been a mistake from Day One

Apple should build 4 extra factories just to meet launch demand, even though they will stand idle for the next two years after the initial demand is met. That Tim Cook sure is dumb.

over one week later: that is unacceptable. Do not introduce and release a product if you cannot deliver the goods in a timely fashion. Another Tim Cook fuck-up.

Bottom always stays out of the way when holding as well less chance of someone catching the headphone cord and ripping the phone out of your hand in a crowd as well

Now the whole thing slips correctly into my Dockers shorts that have an iPhone pocket on the side. And in my car there isn’t this silly cable coming out the top and dangling across the display.

See? Each of us have our perspective and they are equally valid.

When it sticks out from the top it doesn’t get on the way of you holding the phone. Also the charger and headphone jack are at opposite ends so the cables don’t get tangled.

It’s also more aesthetically pleasing for the jack to be on top as the holes at the bottom are symmetrical.

My mom got her iPhone 5 and asked me about the maps. She’d heard their were “problems” on a mainstream TV news shows (she does not read any tech publication). I told her to try the maps — she did and is raving about them. She couldn’t figure out why people were complaining!

I’d say her average consumer experience is the norm. 99.99% of users are fine with the new maps.

Prey tell us, what bugs you about the headphone socket being in the bottom?

In fact that’s the only thing holding me back from buying the iPhone 5.

Some brain dead designers must have invaded Apple labs.
