Coverage of Apple's iPhone 4 Press Conference

[timerollson]

If this appeases people Ive lost even more faith in the human race.

I'm a user who can't wait to have an iPhone 4 but if people don't see how arrogant Jobs is being right now in this press conference...

 

[sishaw]

So far, it looks like he's setting us up for "There aren't many of oyu having the problem, so there.". I brought all my packaging with me to work today so that I could return it TODAY if this went south. Still watching...

No, it's "we really don't have to do anything, but we ARE ANYWAY because we want all our customers to be happy." Brilliant. Churchillian, almost.

 

[ReallyBigFeet]

I'm resenting Apple more and more each day.

Personally, I am watching this thinking to myself "This has to be the smartest and/or most diabolical man on the planet today."

THIS IS EPIC, regardless of how you feel about the situation, this man is handling this like a master. EPIC.

 

[zacman]

LOL instead of fixing the hardware they are now giving ugly bumpers out to everyone. What a joke.

Thru September 30th? So what's happening after then?!

 

[SkottDMD]

Well, it seems like they picked the "factual information" that support their case, e.g. quoting AT&T return numbers instead of total return numbers.

But you the opposite could be said about the people who are just driving this into the ground, that their only providing facutal information that supports their case. Listen, I'm not being a fanboy, I'm just being realistic, and in my opinion this issue has been annoying blown far out of proportion.

YAY! Free bumper! I was gonna buy one buy neither store I went to had stock and it was $29.

 

[macchiato2009]

[WeegieMac]

Just in case people missed it ...

Presenter LIVE on Sky News just now reporting from their studio, cupping the phone and demonstrating how it makes the bars drop and he says, "Funnily enough I've never been able to reproduce this".

He's live on air, and the bars aren't dropping.

Full coverage and report at 7pm on Sky News

 

[Salacion]

No way? The cases are the solution? I can't believe it! Ha ha, omg!

 

[AbSoluTc]

It's such a small issue they are giving away free cases and bumpers! LOL I can't believe that's the fix for this problem. Holy **** this is sad.

 

[macchiato2009]

Thru September 30th? So what's happening after then?!

after Sept 30th, you can go to hell because Steve will consider that the problem will only last this summer...

it will magically disappear on Oct 1st

 

[Statusnone88]

Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow

 

[room237]

So far I don't really like the way Steve is holding this press conference. He should avoid holding it in that way.

 

[compg318]

w00t. Proximity Sensor, next software update.

 

[WeegieMac]

Next Update: Proximity Sensor ...

 

[.:ryan:.]

Proximity Sensor Fix on the way.

 

[MacModMachine]

his arrogance on this is pretty bad....although at least he is going to give free bumpers only to shut us up it seems like

looks like it hasent worked.....

 

[Harpy007]

July 30 iPhone in Canada

 

[pukifloyd]

free cases only till 30 september? that means new iphone in october!!

 

[Intarweb]

Good, they're addressing the proximity sensor issue.

 

[wovel]

******** stat. I haven't called because I know they're not doing **** about it thus far.

I don't like where this is going.

Than you a part of the problem and not the solution. If you refuse to contact the company about a problem you are having through official support channels, you have absolutely no right to complain about your problem. You did not contact them because of a bunch of overhyped BS you read on the Internet.

 

[rebelbeat]

what a joke.
