An independent product review service called Consumer Reports has issued a statement explaining that it cannot recommend the purchase of the iPhone 4. Consumer Reports gave the now well known reception problem of the iPhone 4 as the reason they could not give the phone their approval. The independent service also stated that they did not believe Apple’s claim that the reception issues were software related and that they were positive that the calamity was the result of a serious hardware malfunction. This and other sources of negative publicity have not hindered the sales of the iPhone 4. With over 1.7 million units sold, this is the most successful launch by Apple in the company’s history. That being said, the hype Apple received was largely due to the success of the iPhone 4’s predecessor the iPhone 3GS. The iPhone 4 was riding the coattails of the previous Apple release. It is unclear how much damage the iPhone 4 has caused Apple, if any.
