UK iPhone Reviewer: Calls work best when phone is right-side-up, with plastic removed
In reviewing products, we’ve all had our moments of idiocy, but MacRumors forum member dombookpro posted one of the funniest pics we’ve seen in a while.
In preparation for the Phone’s UK launch, Sky’s Technology Correspondent Ian Woods was given an iPhone to test, and while his review is very favorable and rather in-depth, 2 things all but invalidate the poor man’s opinion. First comes this line on his initial impression of the iPhone’s call quality:
My first few calls on the phone were not very clear. I couldn’t hear the caller properly. Ah – a fault, I thought. Then I realised that the protective film which covers the screen when new, also covers the earpiece. Duh.
OK, that in and off itself wouldn’t be horrible; it’s actually refreshing to see someone admit their mistakes, and we could see a consumer making a similar one. However, that line, coupled with the following soon-to-be-infamous picture, and we’re left speechless.
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Brian for the tip!
Well it’s remotely close…
Between this and Journeyman, you’ve got to wonder if maybe Apple should have included a “this side up” indicator 🙂

Is it possible he might have been listening to the speaker?
