Apple Insider reports Apple has censored its message boards to hide negative reports about the iPhone 4

Nonprofit consumer advocacy group Consumer Reports said Monday morning that it could not recommend the iPhone 4 due to reception issues that are a result of the design of Apple's latest handset. As first noted by TUAW, numerous threads about the news were started on Apple's official online forums, but were quickly deleted by moderators.

While at least six threads were deleted, some were saved in caches and can still be viewed. The report noted that Apple has been known to delete threads that may be unflattering toward its products from the official online discussion forums.
