Apple's Response to iPhone 4 Antenna Problem: You're Holding It Wrong https://www.wired.com/2010/06/iphone-4-holding-it-wrong/

I don't see how the Antennagate can be qualified as "acceptable" since it caused a big public uproar and Apple had to settle a class action lawsuit.

it didnt end the iphone as a brand, or end smart phones altogether though.

how much did that uproar and settlement matter?

>>Maxiou+(OP)
Mobile phone manufacturers were telling users this long before the iPhone was ever invented.

e.g., Nokia 1600 user guide from 2005 (page 16) [0]

The important difference is that in your example, it was the manufacturer telling customers they're holding it wrong. With LLMs, the vendors say no such things - it's the actual users that are saying this to their peers.
