We pretty much expect every single major mobile phone released to be marked with a couple of weeks worth of issues and troubles. And while it is expected that the Apple iPhone would not be immune from such problems, the types of issues that the handset is having is definitely something that Apple needs to act upon.

The first problem is more of a production issue. Apparently, there is a mixture or adhesive in the smart phone’s touch screen that has not been applied or dried properly which makes it appear as a giant yellowish tint on the display screen. Users have described the issue as bothersome and annoying and many feel that they have been cheated in their expensive purchase.

For a screen that costs Apple plenty of money to make, one would think that the touch screen would be the one part that they got right.

Speaking of parts, it appears that the iPhone 4’s parts costs have been broken by the iSuppli website in order to give people a clear understanding about what parts make the iPhone tick. The screen is one part, the other is the Samsung developed NAND flash memory. Now this part is so far, proving to be very reliant. Hopefully, no issues with the internal memory and battery ever arise.

In other iPhone related news, it appears that the device is also suffering from reception issues. The antenna has been carelessly designed to be easily interfered with if the phone is held in certain parts. The solution for many has been to place the handset in a case or even use nail polish to provide a protective layer for the antenna. In terms of cost, the parts used for the antenna on the iPhone are pretty cheap. Many expect Apple to come out with a more reliable solution to the antenna trouble by next week.
