The Apple iPhone was originally introduced in 2007. Since then, there have been a variety of problems associated with the smart phone. Complaints have ranged from connectivity issues, "missing" functions to a controversy over hundred-plus-pages for phone bills.http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10266635-1.htm
Currently, Apple's biggest problem seems to be its inability to meet the extremely high demand for the iPhone 4. Some have accused Apple of purposely creating a shortage of its product to promote interest and a higher demand for this new version. Apple COO Tim Cook, however, strongly dismissed these allegations and expressed great surprise on behalf of the entire company. He also explained that Apple thought it was a bold step to produce one million units per fiscal quarter and that industry insiders predicted it would have taken an entire fiscal year to move that many units of the iPhone 4. Since its launch in June, however, about 1.4 million units have been sold each fiscal quarter.http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2010/07/21/apple_supply_and_demand_problems/<ref>
