Daily Mail runs iPhone 4 recall story based on fake Steve Jobs tweet

Huge step for Daily Mail, be it wrong, they actually based the story on something

Difficult economic times indeed -- with the Daily Mail who seems to have sacked their fact checkers prior to publication of this non-story.

good old daily mail, always verifying their facts before spewing their crap

They also printed the story in the Mail on Sunday.

Blah... he also plagirized one of my tweets! :) What a poop!

Don't you guys think that Apple will fix this in all phones in the next shipment?

No-one in the UK believes anything in the Daily Mail, unless they are xenophobes.

Actually, what's funny is that someone mentioned fake steve jobs and that's not Dan Lyons writing it, but now he might be trying to cover his backside a bit because of it.

If you're like me, when you read some of these things, you go out and do some testing of your own. This reception thing...do a simple test, take out your 3GS or 3G or other phone and turn off wifi. Hold the phone was you normally would. Watch the reception bars vanish.

It's not unique to the 4. However, I was not able to get the 4 to do this in testing. It worked fine off of wifi, and with a 3G signal and 5 bars, I stood there and held it, walked around, and it never lost a bar nor did it fail to call anyone.

So we all have the experience with something that we desire to have. Some will experience failure because that's what they wish for. Others will have no problems.

Based on both Apple & AT&T being out of 32GB phones to sell right now, I can say that it appears that a LOT of people really love this phone.

If they didn't...they'd be swimming in them at the stores. They're not. In fact, I'd not be surprised if at some point rather soon Apple pulls the 8gb 3GS off the shelves and makes the 16GB iPhone4 its low-end model of handset.

But we'll have to wait and see. I'll believe it when it comes through sjobs@apple.com

People have to check their sources and the Daily Mall...well they don't. Steve Jobs doesn't have a twitter account.

Oh well, life goes on.

Have a nice day!

I'm only surprised the iPhone hasn't yet joined the list of things that give you cancer according to the Mail:

It truely is an awful newspaper:

Despite the fact that Jobs' email reads "There is no reception issue," which a casual reading of the email shows, TUAW still ran with a story today that quoted the email as saying "There are no reception issues."
