The press got on their back because the iphone had a grave error in its antenna design which was corrected in the 4s. Apple got away with it and sold millions of iphone 4, no one else would have pulled it off and not only have gone unscathed from this, but also make their product a bestseller and without even modifying the problematic design.
It was a bestseller because there wasn't a problem. I still have an iPhone 4, waiting for the next model, and haven't had a single problem...ever...period.

Thanks for your testament and confirmation, it means very little to all of us here.
My 21.5" iMac does this. I already had the LCD panel replaced once. Now the new panel is doing it, AND it developed a dead pixel within a few months of replacement.
I have to get it back to the Apple Store, I guess. Good thing for Apple Care.
As a long time apple client / user I'm embarrassed for anyone that would even consider paying $2200 for a 15" MBP that only has a 250gb hdd & can't be easily upgraded. Then to read a fanboy response that bugs are expected just re-enforces how people will plain lie to themselves to maintain the illusion that the purchase was worthwhile.
Just another in a growing list of 'sub-standard" quality control by Apple, & as long a people continue to make excuses for Apple it's only going to get worse.

Two trolls in a row. You must have a lot of time on your hands.

He does make one valid point in there though regarding the "bugs are expected" statement. This is utter crap! Why should you "expect" bugs on a product of this quality?
We are not beta testers and we do not get discounts to test products for Apple so there should be no expectation of "bugs" in their products.
No, after being stuck taking 2 days to get home, I couldn't sleep & thought I see what's up at 'AppleInsider" & couldn't help but express my thoughts after reading some of the posts.

Please show me where you can buy a 15" laptop under 5 pounds with retina display and 250 GB SSD for less.
Of course, if you're a cheapskate, there's always the older MBP or MBA.

Because if someone isn't lacking in all usable knowledge and common sense, they'd know that first generation products have problems. Period.
And since by "quality" you mean "price", one word: car.

Yes, I believe I'm accurate in saying that there are more Apple-haters posting on Apple forums then there are Microsoft-haters posting on Microsoft forums. This implies that Apple people are more content with the products they buy.
I’m not sure this is “RetinaGate” (as one poster puts it) but something more to do with a software/hardware interaction. I am getting something like this on a late 2006, 24 inch iMac at OS X 10.7.4.
When the machine sleeps and I move the mouse to wake it up, I initially get cursor-sized squares on the screen (like it is not refreshing the display correctly) until it finally wakes up. See the pic . . .

You are entitled to your opinion but I disagree as like i said before, we are not beta testers for Apple or any other company. However, if Apple wanted to give me new product to test for them for bug/issues I'd be quite happy to do that
When I'm paying full price for something I expect it to work.

My new macbook pro doesn't do this.

I'm surprised NYT isn't all over this story.

P.S. Acknowledge the South African background!

Ferrari Four. Don't thank me.
Is the Retina shipping delay an issue with high demand or more of an issue of Retina Display Production Yield. I think the later.
