iPhone 3GS users having battery trouble

iPhone 3GS users who purchased the latest update, version 3.1, have experienced a substantial battery issue.

Apple has started taking measures to fixing this issue by calling individuals who have the problem and asking 11 battery-specific questions. They are also releasing a non-apple branded battery tracker that takes information from the iPhone's and transfers it to iTunes where Apple can take a look at it.

25-year-old commits suicide after iPhone Incident.

A 25-year-old man died because of a product a number of people use everyday, a cell phone.

Sun Danyong, a communications worker over at Foxconn, a development group owned by Apple, apparently committed suicide at his home after misplacing a prototype iPhone from a batch he was responsible for shipping.

After the disappearance of the handheld gadget, life got rough for Danyong. He was tortured and abused at work by security until finally he was found dead at his apartment after falling fourteen stories.

The security worker was suspended without pay and the police have this case under investigation.

The suicide could have bee caused, other than by the torture he obtained after the loss of the product, by the stress that lingered over his shoulders. The loss of this precious product could of caused a number, around the thousands, of jobs being lost and secrets being exposed to the public, which would cause massive problems for Apple and Foxcomm.
