Coverage of Apple's iPhone 4 Press Conference

[rhanley]

I was scared I jumped the gun on returning my phone too soon, but I'm glad I did now 🙂.

I've had 4 great years with the iphone, but it's time to look elsewhere I guess.. I don't even know where to look since I have had no desire to switch from an iphone until now.

A very sad day for me 🙁

 

[Dalien]

So if im one of the .55 %... are they going to allow us to exchange for another????????????/

 

[shakenmartini]

Wow, .55% have reported the problem? That can't be right.

They just won't ****.

Plus, I would estimate that 95% of the people complaining about the antenna don't even own the iPhone.

 

[NikeTalk]

Very disappointed.

 

[MrPinkBlackrose]

Awesome...

But of course, some still won't be satisfied. Where do I sign up for my free case? lol

 

[Castiel]

I think it would have been better to hand out large amounts of cheese..

 

[aedraste]

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?

The administration costs of the free bumper/case program are just as high or higher than the item itself. They just don't want people coming in two years from now and asking for a case.

They want to be able to accurately calculate their losses after a given date.

It's just business.

 

[macchiato2009]

Dude read! before start yapping your mouth.
You can get a refund through Sep 30 for the bumper if you already bought one.

oh come on, they didn't fix anything...

offering a free bumper this summer was not a fix

 

[bartelby]

Works for me.

They admitted the issue.

Addressed the issue (if you want to call it that) with facts and figures.

Offered solutions.

End of line.

Yep, but still people will whinge

 

[kirk26]

The iPhone4 destroyed Whoopi Goldberg.

 

[MacGeek7]

And there we go, "So I don't know changing the antenna design would help." SMMFH

 

[mrtune]

I really hope someone asks why the db drop on the iphone 4 is greater than previous iphones by a large margin. 24 db drop when you deathgrip the phone compared with less than 10 on previous models and other smartphones.

 

[Poirot818]

Why is everyone talking about free bumpers? It's a free case, not a bumper.

iPhone came out in 2007. So you would have had it for MAYBE 3 years....

You can always go to a 3GS!

no, just means no free case after that...still the same old phone

 

[intervenient]

So they aren't going to fix the antenna during manufacturing...and only giving out a free case until the 30th of September...


Hey Android 😀

 

[PerfSeeker]

Wall Street seems to like what Jobs is saying... a lot.

AAPL +3.34

The haters can eat it. 😀

 

[Mike225]

Hey guys, sorry your Bugatti's engine stalls. But add these Ricer NOS vinyls and it will be fine. Ill even give em to you FREE!

 

[Salacion]

Comeon!!! Bring some HEAT to the questions!!!

 

[kirk26]

10:41AM Q: I can't get my Bold to drop right now, maybe you can show me how to do it?
Steve: You may not see it in certain areas.

What a terrible question.

 

[Somtaaw]

I can't get my Bold to drop right now, maybe you can show me how to do it?!!

OH SNAP!

 

[wongster41]

LOL...

Q: I can't get my Bold to drop right now, maybe you can show me how to do it?
Steve: You may not see it in certain areas.

 

[zacman]

"Steve: You know, the 3GS has the same problem. We're getting reports from customers that this is better than the 3GS."

What a blatant lie!

The 3GS doesn't lose 20dB when you touch it. 😡
