Some people in this thread really need to grow up a little..
[citation][nom]Wish I Was Wealthy[/nom]They knew about the trouble from the news articles that have been up on Toms Hardware already.[/citation]
Why would Apple read Tom's? This site is filled to the brim with PC yuppies and puppies. Yes, they knew about the antenna problem though. Got proof they *didn't* fix it on the iP5?
Also, once again.. The BOM for the iP4 was close to 200(16gb model). Throw in the cost of manufacturing, the OS, and *gasp* "profit" that all companies are after(even more than your, lol, friendship) and the demand for the product, and they figure it's worth that. And considering each release does better than the last.. They could probably sell them for a tiny bit more. Hell, if they sold them for cheaper, I'm pretty sure more people on this site would have one.. Even a few of the Super Anti-Apple Haters here too. ;P That doesn't count the trolls though.. I'm pretty sure all of them already have one...or two
