Oh, I'm sure Apple are competent enough to NEVER have that kind of problem with one of their devices....

Lololol. and for the younger ones who don't remember the iPhone 4... just Google iPhone radio case shorting.

Didn't they also suggest using a non-conducting case?

Wasn't it great I actually went to try it out (and give my step-son a lesson in bad product design). Even when I'd seen it I couldn't believe it....

They gave away bumper cases for free "because they were so committed to customer satisfaction". The Steve Jobs era, they could have had the device electrocute your son and still had hoardes of people lining up to buy it. Im wondering if this fascination is dicoming to an end now.

Talk to any of the honest iPhone owners and they will tell you how bad that phone was for reception and dropped calls.

Laptops have had this type of feature for the Ethernet port for awhile and have yet to come across one breaking off.
