The '4g' would, by nature, be an improvement over the 3g, so actually they do improve it in a way. Not to mention the numerous software updates and bug fixes.

Before I say this, I'm not an Apple fanboy. I have 4 PC's, 1 MacBook and an iPod Touch. Oh and an Xbox 360 (MS).

The reason apple is suffering such bad publicity for this is that up till now they've done everything perfectly. They've always created brilliantly designed products, every single year. Unfortunately, the moment they slip up, because of this history, it's much bigger than it should be. You can actually reproduce the Signal problem on a number of smartphones on the market today (Nokia, Sony Ericsson..) but because they're known for pushing out 30 phones every year, and 28 suck; it doesn't matter.

However, I do agree with the workers bit. They should improve the conditions. Although they're actually not that much worse than many other big companies. It's just that they've got bad publicity because of a few suicides (2 I think).
