Steve Jobs too successful to accept iPhone 4 mistake ?

Steve Jobs on Friday was defiant as ever, only this time its after a long successful innings with iPhone series, Stoutly defending iPhone 4’s antenna issues, Jobs went on to demo a few rival phones which exhibit similar issues as that of iPhone.

It was silly of Mr Steve Jobs to cry foul on the media and blogs, considering the most of the success of Apple products have been based on the media frenzy. He wasn’t too happy that the antenna issue was overblown, but then isn’t iPhone itself overblown?

Well even Jobs complaining isn’t a big deal after all when you are out of options that’s what you do , but the effort Apple dedicated to finding out other phones having similar issues was the shocking part, the same could have been spent on providing a long term solution to the iPhone 4 antenna issue.

Whatever Apple announced on Friday was predicted on the very day of iPhone 4 launch, the real issue was why Apple was so slow in responding? afterall everyone knew it was hardware except for Mr Jobs. It isnt going to be easy for the Apple fan-boys if cupertino company continues this way.
