Seven Mistakes in Apple's History

iPhone 6 just shipped, there are users that the machine can easily bend. This "bending door" incident can be said to be another failure in Apple's history. Taking this opportunity, foreign media summarized Apple's major failures.

iPod battery incident: In 2003, users released a video complaining that their iPod's internal battery was broken in just 18 months, and Apple refused to replace it.

iPhone price cuts: When the first iPhone was released, it was priced at $599. After just two months, Apple announced that the handset was priced at US$399, which triggered early consumer dissatisfaction.

MobileMe Cataclysm: In 2008, Apple replaced its original free Mac.com service with an annual fee of $99 MobileMe. However, MobileMe has poor usability and stability, and a large number of users have switched to Google's free services. Later, Apple stopped charging MobileMe and changed it to iCloud.

iPhone 4 antenna door: iPhone 4 released in 2010 due to antenna design flaws, resulting in left hand holding the signal will weaken. Apple's solution is to provide users with a free protective shell.

Manufacturers have been questioned: For years, Foxconn, Apple’s major assembler, has been plagued by US media due to issues such as dangerous production environment and low pay.

Apple Maps Defects: In order to challenge Google’s dominance in Internet service, Apple released its own map service in 2012. However, this product caused a lot of jokes because of inaccurate navigation, but also led to consumer dissatisfaction.

iCloud Pornographic Events: At the beginning of the month, hackers attacked the iCloud account of actress Jennifer Lawrence and released a large number of nude photos. For a time, Apple was sceptical, but the company said that the incident was not caused by the invasion of iCloud.
