But having said that, the threat of lawsuits can also keep people and companies honest. So let's assume for the moment that Apple is the one to "blame" for the various iPhone problems (although I would personally blame both Apple and AT&T - it's a joint venture).

I can see holding Apple culpable if Apple made claims that were able to be kept, or that someone kept the phone past the 30 day period because they were told "oh, it will be fixed with the next firmware update".

Agreed, very well said.

I'd love to know the outcome of these lawsuits but we will probably never hear about them again.

*Also just read that AT&T is attached to all 4 lawsuits named as a defendant along Apple's side.
