Jesus Christ I wish people would stop saying "if you are unhappy with your iPhone 4, return it" THAT ISN'T THE POINT, NEVER HAS BEEN AND NEVER WILL BE.
The point is, as a CEO, he knowingly DECEIVED and MANIPULATED users, investors, and the stock by not mentioning this issue earlier. I'm almost 2 hours from the nearest Apple store right now. I waited in line for 11 hours. I wouldn't have done ANY of that had I known about these issues beforehand. Millions of us wouldn't, and Steve knows that...his 0.5% data isn't fooling anyone.
The issue isn't returning it for a refund, even if it wasn't DEFECTIVE I could have done that anyway.

When you pay domain fees for this site and assume ownership of Macrumors.com you can request people to leave.If it's so bad return it and leave MacRumors, it's just that simple. All you're doing right now is crying on deaf ears.

It really isn't a problem to me. If it is that big of a deal to you, RETURN IT!
You honestly are the whining little ***** in this thread.When you pay domain fees for this site and assume ownership of Macrumors.com you can act like your opinion matters.
I'm not an investor? I have shares of Apple stock in my 401K as well as by themselves. I have every right to complain, and even customers, loyal or first-time, have every right to complain as well, even if they have a WORKING phone.
Company fraud headed by the CEO himself at a live news conference is nothing to laugh about. Sure, it isn't like they're poisoning us with carcinogenic chemicals and denying it. It isn't life or death. But it's freaking serious nonetheless and really makes me question Apple as a company.
He's up there lying to millions of users, news outlets, and doesn't seem to care. More frightening, neither do the majority of you. Perhaps it really is only a phone, and integrity and honesty from a CEO isn't to be expected anymore. That's a whole nother sad sad story...
You honestly are the whining little ***** in this thread.![]()
I'm returning mine for full refund. I can't back a company like this. Very cocky press conference. Very disappointed.

"Waiter, I don't like the soup. I want you to make it better."
"This is the best we can make it. Perhaps we can offer you some salt."
"I paid good money for this soup. It should taste good without salt."
"I'm sorry. 99.5% of people love the soup but we want everyone to be happy so we'll give you a full refund on your meal."
"I don't want a refund. I want a better soup."
"We're trying the best we can and the soup is as good as it's going to get."
"then I'll just sit in your restaurant and whine until I get the soup I want without salt."

Also, it seems like most of the lying is coming from the Q&A. Steve basically just said that they JUST found out about this issue, as in, through the (undoubtedly, hopefully) years of research and planning that went into the iPhone 4, they NEVER knew about the antenna issue? Like, they JUST found out, after people freaked out? Really? That means one of two things, and neither is good. Either you're full of ****, steve, or your precious company of engineers BLOWS at their jobs.
Listen damn a Nokia and a Samsung the point I was making is you telling people to leave !!!! Their is much more to this site then iPhones. Having a problem with my iPhone doesn't automatically equal a problem with my Mac.I think you need your eyesight checked if you think I'm whining. I'm telling you to do what any other consumer would do.
If you had a nokia phone that was ****, you'd return it. If you had a samsung phone that was ****, you'd return it. If you have an apple phone that's ****, you cry? Doesn't make sense.
Oh, here we go with comparing defective phones to Nokia, Motorola, or any other company and what a user would do. "They'd just return it"
True, they/I would. But this isn't the same circumstance as other phones that fail in certain areas. This was a KNOWN defect and was covered up with bumpers, cases, "holding it wrong" emails etc for damn near a month. And just when the customers are expecting it to be acknowledged, the CEO of said company stands up to a crowd and throws the middle finger to every shareholder, customer, and blog crew on the internet.
Not cool. It's way more than "return your phone" (which I will be doing). I'm now debating whether to sell every MacBook Pro I own and simply go back to Windows. I'm that disturbed by his arrogance.![]()
