New iPod nano: Manufacturing Problem - Part II

by linathael. - 27/09/2007 13:59:10 CEST
Last week, we were reporting about the obvious manufacturing problem of the new iPod nano identified by a LCD display not aligning with the black frame:

Today, we received a new report from Thomas, one of our readers from UK:
I saw your article about the iPod nano having a tilted or wonky screen recently, yesterday I went down to the London Regent Street - Apple Store to preorder my iPod Touch (8GB), and whilst I was there I had a look at the Nanos that they had on display - every last one had a wonky screen, without exception.
Here's a fairly clear photo of just one of them that I managed to take before they asked me to put my camera away.


It is clearly the same assembling defect; yes it is minor, but give a quite weird "touch" on such a nicely designed nano…
So the problem seems to be affecting a quite large number of units, and the fact that Thomas had to put his camera away might indicate Apple is aware of the problem and does not want to have it reported. Let's hope it is only a bad iPod nano production batch, and that Apple and Foxconn will work a solution out.
