Reports have been flying around the Internet that the prototypes of th iPhone that people have been seeing are “too slippery.” People whio have used the device have said it’s definitely drop-prone … not good when you look at the price tag.
According to those who’ve had a little more than Apple’s standard 15 minute playtime, the mobile’s design is simply too smooth, meaning it’s prone to slipping from the hand and, potentially, tumbling to the floor. Source: T3
Let’s say this is true. So what? The reason I say this is because I’ve seen plenty of cell phone prototypes, and many of them go through case changes, including not just color but often texture. Even IF this is true, it will most likely be fixed before release. Case texture or color … that’s easy to fix. What Apple’s been discovering is that the ROM and firmware … those are harder to fix than they expected.
