After software and application glitches, 3G iPhone customers rant about shell cracks

Is there something wrong with Apple Inc.? First the debut of the 3G iPhone was welcomed with ranting customers how slow they were with the service. Next, MobileMe became a MobileMess. And now, new complains from the second-generation iPhone users are flourishing all over the MacRumors forum as well as the discussion forum of Apple Inc. that their 3G iPhone’s shell are having cracks at the back.

Cracked iPhone

These cracks were not because of the customer’s fault (accidental drops, etc.). So this might be a manufacturing problem from Apple Inc. Most of the complaining customers were owners of the 16 GB model. The 3G iPhone with

bigger memory has a white shell that is why they easily noticed the crack that came from nowhere. But there are also several 8 GB 3G iPhone owners who complained about the crack as well. The latter model has a different color than the 16 GB model, which is black.

The shell of the first-generation iPhone was made from aluminum. But it was soon replaced with plastic shells because Apple Inc. said that it can receive signals better.

If Apple Inc. would not do something about the shells of these second-generation iPhones, they might face new set of issues, criticisms, as well as angry mobs.
