I think it's a bit wrong of you to report "rumors" on some APple site about a product that isn't even released yet. How could they have "quality" problems? Until it's out, the phone is still in development. By definition, this means "fixing problems."

And what's the difference, anyway? Apple has shown that they will only release quality products, even if it means a slight wait. The Apple TV, their latest release, has seen very positive reviews on quality (from all sorts of commentators, including the Shelly Palmer review.)

Aren't you jumping the gun a bit?
