What it did was popularized touch screen and brought it to the general public. It also started the whole shitty "look we got a screen and one/two/three/four buttons on the bottom and that's our phone" design. Apple did finally release a statement in regards to the iPhone 4 reception issue and their findings was that the iPhone doesn't have a reception issue, it has an issue with displaying the correct amount of bars. That means when you touch the bottom and the bars drop from 4/5 to 1/2, the phone actually had 1/2 bars the entire time, it was just to fucked up to display it correctly.
side note: I saw the new ads for the iPads and wtf? Magical? Revolutionary? fuck that.

Apple is a marketing machine. I think any manufacturer is going to tout their phone as being the best - it's what you got to do to sell your product. I can't blame them for that. It's advertising. You so what you can to differentiate your product/make it sound better than the next. Smart consumers can make the decision on whether to believe the hype and marketing.
The reception issue I have to admit is a cop out. They say it's a signal strength calculation problem? It's almost like saying that the provider is at fault here. Not a nice thing to do to their partners but it's probably because Apple has the service providers by the balls. We'll have to see in the future how it pans out.
