‘Slow’ iPhone 3G glitch blamed on secrecy
Aug 13th, 2008 | By David Harper | Category: ProductsThe Sydney Morning Herald: iPhone 3G users in Australia and around the world are suffering from slow internet speeds and poor reception because of a flaw in the device that may have been fixed if not for Apple’s immense culture of secrecy.
A source at an Australian telco who did not wish to be named said Apple - paranoid about keeping the device under wraps - only provided the iPhone 3G to carriers the day before it went to market, leaving them with no time to test it thoroughly on their networks.
