This is the statement I don't understand:

"Now when we look at this data, it's hard to escape the conclusion that there is a problem, but that problem is affecting a very small number of users. I get emails saying the phone works perfectly, and they can't understand what this is all about. So we think it's affecting a small batch, but it has to do with inherent problems in smartphones. But we want all of our users to be happy."

If it's a small batch, doesn't that mean it seems more like a manufacturing problem or did he mean to say small percentage?
 
BTW: that "case" is just a bumper. Why not jsut redesign the damn phone with the bumper on it. Ridiculous that such a beautiful phone will now need to wear an ugly bumper.
 
So wait, first he admits that all phones have this problem and you can't get around the laws of physics.

Then he admits its cured by putting a layer between your hand and the antenna.

Which is it? A defective design? Or a problem with all phones? I don't know any other phone with the antenna on the outside.
 
it's funny how they give all that data about how that every other cellphone have this issue, they're going to give a free case anyways to protect their ass from a lawsuit.
 
Bold Idea

How about make a phone that looks as good as the iphone4 but DOESNT require a case to make a call??
 
Wow and I thought people loved free stuff. Frigging hilarious how people on here are laughing at free stuff. Heck I'll take a free case, and I'll take the one they will owe you too if you want. Idiots.
 
Pick any case that they will display on their site next week.

Bring back undamaged iPhone in 30 days - full refund.

Well, I guess you can't complain. I mean, if you don't want a case, then return it.

Personally, I was going to buy a bumper case when I got the iPhone 4.
 
why cant we get a freaking exact date on the white iphone ...can we at least preorder Steve wtf.
 
So Free Bumpers For All And No Annoucement Of New Iphone Rev!!!
Now I Want To Hear Then About Gizmodo Folks Reporting Some People Received A Modified Phone And Do Not Have Drop Calls Anymore!!! Wtfffff
 
To those saying Jobs is coming off arrogant ... WRONG.

I'm watching him on Sky News and he's pacing, nervously, across the stage ... he looks far from arrogant.
 
What do the people who said a software fix was possible think?
A free case isn't too bad if you were going to buy one anyway.
 
If anyone is happy with a bumper to fix a hardware flaw then they deserve what ever they get.

Only a true fanboy/idiot would be happy with that.
 
Free bumper it is.
No. Free third party case until September 30. Not the Apple bumper, officially due to shortage. They probably picked out the ugliest cases they could find, so that you'll buy a bumper anyway (at which time they'll suddenly have an endless supply of bumpers).
 
does This Mean That All Phones After September 30th Will Have A Fix On It That Won't Require The Use Of A Freaking Bumper?
