For anyone who wondered how a primary engineering mistake could go unnoticed by a company obsessed with perfection like Apple, it seems like a simple answer: it didn't. THE Bloomberg dropped a bomb today, saying that Ruben Caballero, a senior engineer and antenna expert, would have warned senior management (read: Steve Jobs) about problems that the new smartphone design could bring.

The anonymous source of Bloomberg He went further and mentioned that an operator partner of Apple (not necessarily AT&T) would, before the launch on June 24, have expressed concern about the layout of the antennas. Ouch: two warnings.
If this information is true, we will have two things in hand: 1. an unfortunate case of “form over function”; 2. “But I told you!” most peak in the world history of telephony. I imagine how amusing the press conference will be tomorrow: the journalist / blogger who does not ask about this rumor may give up his profession, he can be sure; what to ask can give up all future Ma events.
