Is The iPhone 4 In Trouble?

There has been a lot of talk today that the iPhone 4 is in serious trouble. I personally am not an iPhone user. But when was the last time Apple received this much negative buzz? It has been a long time.

Some people are hinting there is no PR remedy to this situation. The only remedy is total recall. Now if that were warranted, that would be a big one. Apple would be in the hole for at least a billion dollars if that were to be the decision.

I am not reporting on the engineering mishap, I am just reflecting on the buzz. You can go plenty of places to read on the engineering mishap, quite a few I have linked to from this blog.

What do you think? How bad is the news? Will this storm pass? Or will Apple have to decide on a recall on their new product?
