Summary: It is suggested by the New York Daily News that Apple knew very well that hypePhone 4 had problems but decided to ship it anyway

ACCORDING TO THIS article that we missed at the time, Apple knew it was releasing a product with reception issues. As The Inquirer puts it, "Apple knew that the Iphone 4 was a lemon."

According to the New York Daily News, Jobs knew that there was a problem with the reception, but he thought Apple fanbois would be more impressed with the sleek design.

It also turns out that government agencies/Congress are getting involved (there are apologetics for these politicians/regulators getting involved) and the cartoons keep coming. ⬆
