The left wing radicals over at the NY Times have written an article that claims that the iPhone may be responsible for the shortcomings in the AT&T network. AT&T has been rated dead last in consumer satisfaction recently, with many customers located in large metropolitan areas complaining about dropped calls and slow data transfer times. While AT&T has never complained about Apple or the iPhone, Roger Entner over at Nielsen had this to say: ‘the iPhone has the nimbus of infallibility, ergo, it's AT&T's fault’. This means that consumers automatically blame AT&T rather thane Apple for the problems at hand. How could Apple be responsible for the problems with the AT&T network you ask? Entner explains that the iPhone’s electronics that are responsible for connecting to AT&T cell towers are not reliable, which degrades both voice and data. John Gruber argues this notion by countering that iPhone devices have not suffered from this abroad. Gruber may have a valid point, but let’s not forget that the amount of iPhones used in America compared to the rest of the world is quite significant.
