This is a story about one reported incident? This is news?

Quote:
When their iPhones stopped working properly, both said Apple employees told them a moisture sensor on their devices had been tripped.

"It happens all the time," said Pittman, repeating what he said an Apple employee at the Willowbrook store told him. "He said they have this issue all the time."
Huh? This is journalism? How about an interview with the Apple store employee.

I run with my iPhone almost every day . . . and sweat quite a bit - never had a problem like this. I've even had warranty service after a year of such activity and the sensors were not tripped.

One would have to generate a lot of perspiration directly onto/into the phone to trip the moisture sensors, IMO.

Sounds like someone may have dipped the iPhone into water - something's not making sense. Sort of a useless story.
