Apple is struggling to deliver a quality iPhone according to insiders at a Taiwanese phone manufacturing Company. Han Hai (aka Foxconn) are concerned that the designs Apple have delivered for manufacturing are not robust enough and that the Apple software functions built into the phone are sucking juice out of the batteries to the extent that talk time is significantly compromised. It is expected that the iPhone will not be launched on June 11th 2007.
Apple, it seems is concerned that they could be hit by a flood of warrantly claims a move which Han Hai is trying to avoid as they could well end up wearing the responsibility for some of the claims. The problem the insiders claim relate to the way the software has been designed. Functions working in the background are sucking power while the phone is not being used to the extent that call times are limited.
