iPhone 5 production slows down due to stricter quality control
10 October, 2012 | Comments (2) | Post your comment
Apple is experiencing a slowdown in the iPhone 5 production as the company is trying to enforce a tighter control over the manufacturing process. The company is working with Foxconn to lower down the number of devices shipped with nicks and scratches.
According to an anonymous source who spoke to Bloomberg, the build quality issues and chips of the iPhone 5 are due to the special aluminum Apple has decided to use for the smartphone, which allows the construction of the thinner and lighter body.
That's why senior Apple managers have forced stricter quality control policies on Foxconn's manufacturing locations. The implementation of the new benchmarks has even resulted in idle factories, which in turn should lead to iPhone 5 shortages in the near future.
According to Bloomberg supply concerns have already cost Apple about $60 billion in market cap since the iPhone 5 debut.
This report gives some credibility to the story about Foxconn Zhengzhou workers going on strike. We'll see if Apple manages to take the scratching problems of its premium flagship smartphone under control

Better wait for newer iPhone 5 with the corrected scratching issues.
Apple’s Latest Slide-to-Unlock Patent Basically Prevents Other Phones From Dragging Anything Around a Lock Screen
Apple was just granted yet another patent for slide-to-unlock, and it's even more general than the first two.
The new patent throws a lot of the limitations of the others out the window, specifically the part that required an unlock gesture to move along a very specific path. Now there are just two main guidelines to keep in mind. One is "continuously moving the unlock image on the touch-sensitive display in accordance with the movement of the detected contact," which is to say moving your finger across a touch screen with no real route. The other is "movement of the unlock image from the first location to an unlock region." So there's no indication that you have to start or stop in an exact location. And all of that leaves Apple's rights for slide-to-unlock very vague, but at the same time very broad and very open to interpretation, which is probably just the way Cupertino likes it.

Napansin ko lang, pati sa thread ng ip5 ang daming detractors ng ip5 ang nagpopost?!? Bakit kaya ganun?

Pauso kasi si sweet.
kaya ko naman bumili ng iphone eh
pero isang myphone, isang cherry mobile, at isang torque ang binili ko
hahaha...naaliw ako sa post ni sir ULS.
Naisip ko tuloy maybe getting an iphone 5 is more for it's bling-bling factor ... it's like sporting a ROLEK over a ROLEX or driving a QQ over driving a BMW or wearing an SM Basics to wearing a Lacoste or using an MSI/NEO laptop versus using a Macbook Pro.
So if one wants a bling...go for the expensive stuff...even if you don't really need it.![]()
Would it be sour-graping? Kasi if one owns a product and have issues on it - ranting yun. Pero if one does not own the product yet pero nagrereklamo siya dun...it's called sour-graping ...hehehe
hehehe in a sense it is, well according dito What do they mean if they say that "you are sour graping"..? how about sweet lemon??? - Yahoo! Answers. But it comes with the territory since Apple is considered to be an "innovator". Tapos ang mahal pa nga ng price nila. Sabi nga nila, "you get what you pay for", but sa case na ito, "you DIDN'T get what you pay for"![]()
