5-8 Million iPhones returned by iPhone Due To Quality Issues

According to a new report, Apple’s manufacturing partner Foxconn has been having tons of trouble with the iPhone 5’s production methods. Apple described its very complex manufacturing process when the iPhone 5 was first unveiled last fall. While the beautiful design of the device has definitely paid off, Foxconn continues to have issues with its production.

“Foxconn has apparently botched a batch of iPhones, which Apple returned to the contract manufacturer because they were not fit for sale.

Details of just what went wrong are sketchy, as the source for this tale is an anonymous Foxconn staffer chatting to China Business. That report, after being forced through a couple of translation engines, suggests Apple sent back at least five million iPhones, and maybe as many as eight million, “due to appearance of substandard or dysfunctional problems.”

If the report holds any truth to it, this is definitely a lose-lose situation. With each phone costing around $200 to produce, a whopping 5 million damaged devices adds up to a huge loss for the Chinese manufacturer. However, it also hurts Apple, as it leaves the company with less iPhone supply.

It’ll be interesting to see how the production of the iPhone 5S plays out. If Apple keeps the same design on the new device as the current iPhone, I would imagine that manufacturing problems may ensue again.

Microsoft Is About To Leave One-Third Of All Computers Vulnerable To Hacking

Hundreds of millions of computers running everything from ATMs to the power grid will be vulnerable to hacking next month when Microsoft stops supporting its old Windows XP operating system. Hackers have been holding onto flaws in Windows XP and waiting to exploit them until after the software giant stops issuing security updates on April 8, experts say. Adam Meyers, vice president of intelligence at Crowdstrike, a cybersecurity firm, said it was “fairly dangerous” to continue using the 12-year-old operating system because after the deadline “victims can’t defend themselves.” “I certainly wouldn't run Windows XP after the 8th," Meyers said in an interview. Microsoft announced six years ago it will no longer provide security patches or technical support for the out-of-date software. Yet about one-third of computers around the world -- or about 500 million PCs -- still run Windows XP. On Microsoft’s website , a clock ticks down to next month’s Windows deadline an...
