It is the District of Columbia ....

Don't know, but I'd imagine that they're all in a "state" of dismay at all the broken iPhones! :p

^ State has multiple meanings.

 

No one said D.C. has statehood.

[thomastmc]

While D.C. isn't technically a state, it isn't a part of any state either, and is often included in studies and statistics as if it were a state.

To argue that it isn't a state when it's included in a statistic of the states really is just toiling in semantics.

Washington D.C. takes the top of that list too :)

Does this account for population percentages or just raw numbers of warranty claims?
