In a rather unsurprising turn of events, a California-based law firm is investigating some of the issues with the iPhone 4 reported earlier this week for the purpose of possibly waging a class action lawsuit against Apple. The firm is looking for those affected namely by problems with reception as a result of the new device's antenna design.
The law firm -- Kershaw, Cutter, and Ratinoff of Sacramento, California -- is seeking potential claims against Apple, asking anyone who has experienced "poor reception quality, dropped calls and weak signals" to contact them.
While it remains to be seen if the firm will be able to gather enough evidence or have the legal grounds to seek damages from Apple, however, it does mark an interesting development in the story of the iPhone 4's post-launch woes.
A class action suit has also been filed in Texas, which alleges that Apple knowingly released a defective product, the iPhone 4, and specifically calls attention to Apple's response to the matter. Apple's negligence, the plaintiffs believe, entitles them to compensatory and punitive damages. The filing can be read online, in its entirety, here.
Shortly after going on sale last Thursday, many consumers began complaining of dropped calls and signal degradation as a result of holding the device in a certain way. It was later found and acknowledged by Apple that holding the device along the lower edges may result in performance issues in some units, which the company said could be remedied by using a case with the device, or by simply holding it in a different way.

as far as I'm concerned Apple released faulty merchandise.
