"Apple never releases anything until it actually works." -- Quote from an Apple fanboy
Fanboys.....just a tip, never use the term "Never" or "Always" regarding your favorite toy. That goes for Android, Apple, Windows, Blackberry, whatever.
These companies have people working for them. Some good, some great, some really suck at their jobs. They're all just people, not superheroes.
Sometimes Apple fucks up. Sometimes Google does. Sometimes Microsoft does. It happens. Get over it. Your phone is just another finicky appliance no matter how shiny the bendable aluminum is.
