That happened to my man’s iPhone 4S as well. The apple store gave him a bunch of free stuff in exchange for not publishing photos of it, lol.

I’m not a fan boy, but I wouldn’t call it cursed. Flawed in some ways, yes. I was thinking the same thing about why they didn’t catch this earlier. But my theory is that they were so worried about the lost prototypes in the wild and they kind of dropped the ball on what they should have really been worrying about. I’m sure the next gen iPhone wont have these problems and if they do well there are going to be tons of upset customers. :)

Seems like the iPhone 4 is cursed. I wouldn’t believe Apple if they said it was tested out in the wild. Most likely it was only tested in a lab otherwise the antenna problem would have been caught before it was released and possibly this issue as well.

interesting, I didn’t know a usb port could provide that kind of current…
