   hehhehheh... what do you think I did for decades in the Silicon Valley, JR?   
      
   It's _obvious_ to everyone that (again!) Apple forgot to test their iPhone.   
      
   Did you ever wonder why they found so many FaceTime bugs when they finally   
   _looked_ for the first time at the product (after the kid found the bugs)?   
      
   No?   
   Think about it then...   
      
   Apple's QA is notorious for being horrible - where even Craig Federighi   
   complained in an email about it (which we discussed!) that was made public.   
      
   Just like you can't understand Russia without realizing it's people always   
   wanted to be a providential world power but it never had the resources for   
   the hegemony it so desperately desires, except by coercion....   
      
   You can't understand Apple until you understand it's a MARKETING company.   
      
   Remember, QA is part of R&D and _nobody_ in any similar high tech endeavor   
   spends _less_ than does Apple on R&D (where Apple's R&D spend is miniscule   
   by way of comparison to the likes of Samsung and Huawei for example).   
      
    *Nobody spends _less_ than Apple in R&D - nor more in MARKETING*
