Surely consumers will get a refund because the iPhone 5c has a
world-ending, critical security flaw?  And we are expected to believe
that this flaw happened by accident, as the result of their
engineering practices, and not through a deliberate assault of their
best brains on their own technology.

I find the media reporting on the outcome rather puzzling.
