I just received my iPhone 4 this afternoon.

The moment I opened the box the phone leaped out, peed on the carpet, molested my cat, and stole 20 dollars out of my wallet when I wasn't looking. Not to mention it has the signal loss issue.

Yipes! I only have the signal loss and the proximity sensor issue. Guess I got lucky!
 
It's not going to be a recall, but an extension of the warranty to replace your iPhone with the rumored new unaffected model if it falls within a certain serial number range. You will most likely get the option to register online to make an appointment to get it replaced.

Not a complete and total recall, but a replacement service.


^ What he said ^
 
Doesn't matter what they say tomorrow - people will continue to bitch.

They'd bitch if it made their breakfast, did their laundry, walked their dog...
 
I must refer to the same response I gave to the Right Honourable Gentleman earlier:

"Two iPhones 4's most certainly DID get married ... and it cannot be denied that their Reception that evening was indeed terrible ... however they are now both of the mutual agreement that the reason for such disappointment could be solely attributed to the fact they had 'held it in the wrong place"

Moral: If you know of two iPhone 4's that are intending to tie the knot ... then please .. ask them to host their Reception in a more suitable location ... I think thats what this message is inferring ... ;-)
Thank you
 
When do we begin the protest at the apple stores. I know some say return the phones, but what of the hundreds we have invested in apps we cannot use in OS X, or transfer/sell our licensees to.

We need to bring as much bad press on apple as possible for them to fix the issue or refund our money spent on apps we cannot use.

If apple screws us tomorrow, that day will be rembered as the day Android won.
 
I told you there would be NO recall!

There is no need for a complete recall. Get a bumper. Not hard.

Or just return the damn phone.

Wow, 10 internet points for you, do you need a hug? :rolleyes:

I don't want a bumper, why should I be forced to buy one to fix the obvious problem?
 
Apple will announce that the White iPhone will be released next week without the defect.

$499 16GB

$699 32GB.

People will line up for hours to buy it.

s.
 
Maybe they did narrow down the serial number range of phones that have issues since most people appear to have no problem, myself included. Would be good if they could just deal with the ones with issues.

It's a shame that this has been such a problem for some people, as this is a beautiful and functionally outstanding phone.
 
Shocking!

No recall who would of thunk it.

LOL.

Are some of you going to be pissed if Apple tells you to return your phone for a refund tomorrow if it does not work? Are you going to return it for a refund?
 
They do, those people can stop bitching and return it within the specified 30 days and get an android or BB! :):):)

Mobile phones are like computers now. We spend money on programs (apps) and develop ecosystems around them. Switching right now is no different than you finding out that every Macbook keyboard doesn't work properly. Would you switch to Windows, or demand a fix from Apple?
 
Again, this isn't exactly surprising. Apple will not admit that their is a failure.

It will be more interesting to hear what they say about the iPhone 4 at the press release. I'm tuning in.

You are not required to have the phone. Return it and make a decision based on what fits your needs.

If it's soooooo obvious then you fix it. Read what you type next time. Don't get mad! Suffer then
 
No Recall doesn't mean they haven't resolved the problem

Most likely, you'll be asked to come into an Apple or AT&T store to have a part added to your phone and thus require a technician to install it.

Most likely it will be free of charge.
 
"Mr. Jobs liked the design so much that Apple went ahead with its development"

Well Mr Jobs did not foresee that there would be a problem even though he was told so.

hello??? (excuse the pun) but this was suppose to be a phone. you would expect that a AU$800 phone will not drop calls when other phones work fine. buying another phone instead of the iphone is not a valid response.
 
I hate how people feel it's their God-given right to use an iPhone. Apple already offers to buy the phone back from you at full cost if you're not happy with it, I don't see why they even need to hold this press conference. People need to realise that there are bigger worries in life.

Except where the phone is unable to perform its primary function then it needs to be fixed......no excuse or workaround. Why release it on the first place if it is unable to work as a phone. Put it on a iPod Touch box in the stores and then it would be an amazing iPod.

Honestly this isn't a solution. I don't want some 3rd party device on my phone to make it work properly. I want the phone naked.

I will definitely return it if it gives me problems.

Idiots like this annoy me.

Not everybody wants a bumper case. I do not want to use any case at all with my new iPhone 4. Also the bumpers are crap.

Nobody should be forced to have a case on their phone. The phone should have been produced correctly in the first place.
