iPhone 4 Recall Rumors Untrue

Rumors of the iPhone 4 recall are circulating across the web after signal issues have been reported. It was then followed by a fake Steve Jobs twitter account tweet that says Apple might have to recall the device that was later picked-up by the Daily Mail.

The tweet says: “We may have to recall the new iPhone. This, I did not expect.”

The Daily Mail published a story yesterday quoting @ceoSteveJobs‘ tweet above. As of this writing, the article has already been deleted but you could still read the story from syndicated sites.

You can still find other sites that copied the story by typing “Apple iPhone 4: The much-vaunted gadget may be recalled” or “Apple iPhone 4 may be recalled, says Steve Jobs‎” on Google’s search box.

According to AppleInsider, iPhone 4′s signal issues observed by the owners appear to be a software problem that an OS update could fix. iOS 4.0.1 is expected to be released early next week.
