Apple: 5 Things Bringing Us Down (AAPL)
In a report from TheStreet.com's Soctt Moritz, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has come up 5 different things that really bothers it.
The consumer is improperly holding the iPhone 4, thereby covering up the antenna and causing the dropped calls. "This has been blown so out of proportion that it is, it's incredible," Steve Jobs said Friday at the press conference. "I guess it's just human nature, when you see someone get successful you just want to tear it down." Blogs have also become a source of worry for Apple, as the influx of information is becoming overwhelming with opinions and facts. Other smartphone makers are stuck in Apple's craw, as the other phones are not nearly as renowned as the iPhone. Last but not least, Consumer Reports really turned this into a huge issue by withholding their recommendation on the product.
