Malfunctioning iPhone Costs Man 19,000 GBP

Granted, your humble author is a devoted Android follower, so take this with however many grains of salt you wish, but I chuckled at this case of “it just works”, courtesy of the Standard. A British man’s iPhone malfunctioned, and continued sending data on a limited plan, creating a two-month billing cycle totalling to a stunning £19,000 (some $30,400 USD), even after having the device turned off by his carrier, Orange. After Apple confirmed the device to be malfunctioning, Orange offered to reduce the fee to a capped £300, before he was able to get it waived.
Sure, you can spout whatever android malware story du jour, but it looks like this device needed no external help. Talk about the “Apple Tax”, eh?
