That is a really lousy headline from the NYTimes, even by the standards of American papers. Took me about four reads to gather than 'fans' didn't mean what I had assumed it did.
Hah, glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. "iPhone disappointment fans" sounds like some kind of broken-English equivalent of "Apple haters". Or the kind of thing you see in blog spam comments ("I thanks you for the great infos!!")
