A few days ago I wrote one article in which we explain the information received by a journalist from several sources inside the Apple company, information that predicted a new scandal that had the iPhone 4 terminal in the foreground. The scandal had to do with the glass panel behind the iPhone 4 terminal, a panel that apparently it could very easily crack if you use cases that are mounted on the phone, cover the glass panel and have the terminal's antennas as the attachment point. The sources said that Apple's engineering teams were worried that the use of these cases could lead to cracking of the glass panel due to impurities "trapped" between the panel and the case, impurities that over time due to use could cause scratches that would turn into real cracks.
The article was written on the site gdgt by Ryan Block, former editor-in-chief at Engadget, so it came from a reliable person so it caused enough "waves" among those who own or will buy an iPhone 4. The problem with what he reported there is that it's the first time we've heard of glass panels cracking from the use of a slide-on case. No one has heard of such a thing until now and no other "stories" have appeared to support the sources, so everything could be just a attempt to "throw" a little mud on the iPhone 4 terminal which is currently recording record sales.
My opinion is that everything was nothing more than a failed attempt to start a monstrous scandal and I say failed because no one believed what was reported because if this problem was real then by now we would have had countless confirmations of its existence.
