I thought it quite telling that the iPhone 3GS had 6% returns to the iPhone 4’s 1.7% return rate.

Is that 6% the return rate from the time it was released until now, or 6 weeks after the initial release?

I can only help you by referencing Apple’s super high consumer satisfaction scores.

Yes, I know you will try to nit pick. But please respond with higher satisfaction levels on other phones please.

They did not say. But does it matter? Do you have some point?

Let me try a few. Let's say they both are from the first 22 days only. So what? The 3GS had NO bad press and had 600% more returns. The 4 has had weeks of bad press and customers are 600% more satisfied! OK?

So, lets take the whole other end. In over a year, 3GS had 600% more returns while still have NO BAD PRESS and 4 has had 600% more satisfied customers while being attacked daily in the press for most of the time since release.

Do you see the common theme here? WHEN the data is polled does not change the FACTS. The only thing which could change the facts are CHANGES to the facts. Like if returns go UP! And will we even KNOW this number? Not likely. Without a leak or some reason for Apple to BRAG about it NOT happening.

Some questions are without any value to the issue at hand. Other than a learning opportunity, this question becomes on of them.
