They had the same issues before Steve Jobs, 99% of people seriously do not care or even knew about this.

What's more important is fixing and moving on to the next problem.

They had the issues with Steve Jobs but they also had Steve Jobs to save their ass.

And yet, we've survived more "gates" without Jobs in the past few years as well.

Batterygate recently, or bendgate?

I always felt "bendgate" was a non-issue. Just a bunch of hipsters who were too dumb to understand that you don't put a phone in the back pocket of your skinny jeans.

It's a slab of glass. What kind of person thinks that's a good idea?

At the same time it is a phone ... who thinks to put it in their pocket?

What kind of company makes a device commonly put in pockets out of a material that can't stand that environment? ;)
