Apple iPhone 4S Could Be Next in Line of Apple Device Issues

Apple’s mobile devices have consistently proven worldwide blockbusters. Whether the succeeding iterations of the iPhone, with increasingly advanced hardware and software, or the iPad dominating the tablet space, every new release seems to spark a customer rush for the nearest electronics store. However, despite their elegant design and top-notch software engineering, these Apple products sometimes run into issues. With the iPhone 4, some users complained of dropped calls whenever their bare skin touched the device’s exterior antenna rim; Apple eventually compensated with a giveaway of free rubber bumpers that covered that rim. With the iMac, reported issues with yellowed or flickering screens also drove Apple to a public response. Nor do these issues stop at hardware. Apple famously wrestled with the rollout of its MobileMe service, which was meant to sync users’ online data. At one point, Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs ushered the MobileMe team into the company’s auditorium for a dressing-down, climaxing with him dismissing the head of the team. Although Jobs is deceased, and former COO Tim Cook now holds the company’s reins, Apple will almost certainly continue its stringency with regard to its product lines. It remains to be seen, though, how it will respond to user reports that the iPhone 4S, the latest device in the iPhone line, is experiencing some battery issues.

Apple iPhone 4S Battery Issues

According to online reports and several irate commenters on Apple’s discussion threads, a subset of iPhone 4S units are experiencing significant battery drain in a relatively short period of time: 15 to 20 percent an hour, in some cases.

Antennagate

In 2010, the blockbuster release of the iPhone 4 was somewhat marred by reports of dropped calls whenever users gripped the device in a certain way with their bare hands.

Yellow iMac Screens

In late 2009, an unknown number of iMac buyers reported either a flickering screen, or one with a disconcerting yellow tint.

MobileMe

When Apple launched MobileMe in 2008, users reported issues with the online service, including problems syncing devices and some lost data.

New MacBook Air with Lion due in July

Apple's refresh of the MacBook Air should come in July packing Apple's newest OS X Lion operating system, a Deutsche Bank analyst said today.

"Our checks suggest a forthcoming MacBook Air refresh in July where we believe units could ramp to as high as 1.5M units per [quarter] or 50 percent of the MacBook business," analyst Chris Whitmore wrote in a research note distributed via e-mail.

If the MacBook Air garnered half of all of Apple's MacBook business, that would be a significant milestone, as early versions of the Air, dating back to January 2008, were not that popular compared with other MacBook offerings.

The most significant upgrade to the Air is expected to be the switch to Intel's new Sandy Bridge processors. Less certain is whether the new models get the high-speed Thunderbolt port, though it has been widely reported that they will.

Whitmore's note continued: "We also believe Lion will drive a strong upgrade cycle due to: 1) low ASP; 2) significant enhancements/feature upgrades; and 3) arrives in conjunction with MacBook Air refresh."

Whitmore also commented on OS X Lion, saying that among its 250-plus new features, the most important improvements include iCloud, multitouch gestures, "mission control," and "resume." These will "spur a large part of the 54 [million] Mac installed base to upgrade," he wrote.

OS X Lion also benefits Apple because it is available only through Apple's App store, which means no retail distribution costs for Apple, Whitmore said.
