Apple's Photo Booth programme does that... there's an option to flip the image to the correct side which obviously he didn't check.

In effect, he claims his father dropped the iPhone cracking the screen and he was trying to figure out a way to get Apple to replace the unit for free. One of the things he wanted to do was quote:

"hmmm well i guess it can be a hardware flaw of over heating ...therefore glass and heat can be buyable,

huge glass screen is too much of a design flaw imo.."

I thought this story was an attempt at covering up accidental damage. ]]>Apr 3rd 2008 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/
"I'm all for Apple replacing genuine hardware faults on jailbroken/unlocked phones, but to want to get a phone that you/someone else actually smashed replaced free of charge by claiming a design defect is just plain wrong.

Do what you will, but don't expect any help or encouragement here."

People like this ruin it for everybody else..

I suggest Engadget insert an update or remove this story altogether, because some readers might just read the headlines, and spread this false news to other places and cause misunderstanding. ]]>Apr 3rd 2008 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/Apr 3rd 2008 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/Apr 3rd 2008 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/Apr 3rd 2008 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/Apr 3rd 2008 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/Apr 3rd 2008 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/i am sure they ll be checking engadget!!]]>Apr 3rd 2008 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/Apr 3rd 2008 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/Apr 3rd 2008 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/Apr 3rd 2008 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/iphone-overheats-while-docked-fight-for-replacement-begins/
