APPLE FORCED TO RECALL iPHONE AFTER TOASTER FAULT
APPLE has been forced into an embarrassing recall of the entire first batch of its long awaited iPhone after users reported problems with its on-board toaster.
iPhone: Rubbish for toast
Carl Knutz, :nutso: an early adopter of San Andreas, California, said his two-slot iPhone produced one raw slice of toast and one that was burnt to a cinder and inedible.
He said the problem was particularly frustrating as the iPhone?s built-in roasting oven and low fat grill ?worked a treat?.
Mr Knutz said: ?I was sold the iPhone as the perfect solution for satisfying all my breakfast time needs. I could read emails, surf the web, grill some bacon and do toast all at the same time with the one gadget. Well I can?t, the toast is rubbish.?
Despite the toaster glitch most users are reporting themselves delighted with the iPhone. Bobby Killitz, 23, :ranger a glasses wearer, also of San Andreas, said he had cooked an entire chicken dinner in his phone, and it had emailed him to tell him when it was ready.
Danny Kravitz, 25, :banana: the brother of a musician, said his phone had babysat his 11-month old daughter while he went to a bar and did not email him when she started crying as it knew it was nothing serious.
Even so Apple user forums are buzzing with complaints about the quality of iPhone toast and the company?s boffins are said to be working around the clock to sort the problem.
Steve Jobs has put up a personal video message on the Apple website apologising for the toaster glitch but reassuring users that it is a software issue that will be sorted soon.
Mr Jobs said: ?We updated the iPhone software after all our laptops overheated and blew up but that appears to have affected the element in the toaster. Or it maybe it just needs a new washer.?
Meanwhile it has emerged that all the first batch of iPhones have also been built without any microphones being installed. This was not discovered until all of them had been sent to the shops as no one had thought to use one to make a call.
