Coverage of Apple's iPhone 4 Press Conference

[kirk26]

Hehe, they want you buy AppleCare. It's an AppleCare pitch!

 

[Intarweb]

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

 

[farmbois]

Did Apple just make the Xavier dome from X-Men?

lol glad i wasnt the only one thinking that. i was waiting for "storm" to appear

 

[Kavier]

I'm in that 0.55%!

 

[Salacion]

"Phones aren't Perfect"

Sure, what's wrong with saying it one more time? Like it isn't already engraved in our heads...


I have a feeling this is going to end without a fix...

 

[timerollson]

Arrogant, much?

 

[luv2hum]

blah blah blah and thats why we are giving everyone a FREEEE.......

 

[DakotaGuy]

I rarely have ever seen so much arrogance in my life.

 

[toxictrix]

It's stupid. I didn't call Applecare and I have the issue. All my friends didn't call Apple. We were waiting for a fix. What a bunch of garbage.

 

[AbSoluTc]

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

It's so LOW that's why Apple called a press conference! Apple must think were ****ing idiots.

This whole thing is a joke. SCREW YOU JOBS!

 

[WeegieMac]

Now this bit, claiming that 0.55% of owners have called Applecare about the antenna issue.

I have it in certain situations, but to have it "justified" I need to report it to Applecare? I didn't phone Applecare to moan, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Not everyone with the issue will phone Applecare ... FACT.

That's ******** right there from Jobs.

 

[Pro31]

not all people who buy the iphones get applecare. the .55% doesnt help that much.

 

[macchiato2009]

I'm in that 0.55%!

he can even pretend 0.00001%, nobody would ever be able to check the figures

 

[mrtune]

Folks, looks like they will not offer anything. I hope I'm wrong though.

 

[sishaw]

Ok. Those testing chambers are FREAKY AS HELL. That's, more or less, what I envision Lady GaGa's bedroom to look like.

That's her kitchen. You don't even wanna see her bedroom.

 

[Statusnone88]

I can't believe they are pulling this card. What a crock of s**t.


Anyone else furious?

 

[ReallyBigFeet]

Summary:

You're all delusional. We spent lots of money so we're right.

With statistics that back up that statement....0.55% of all calls to Applecare were about antennagate.

Yes, I'd say the facts are on his side on this one.

 

[WeegieMac]

not all people who buy the iphones get applecare. the .55% doesnt help that much.

You get one year hardware coverage as standard with any new Apple purchase ...

 

[rhanley]

You can't go to return rates -- everyone was waiting to hear what Apple had to say before returning -- was that their plan and why they remained silent?

Geesh!

The news better get good soon!

 

[Xenc]

I think the min bars max bars chart is backwards

I think you're right:

blah blah blah and thats why we are giving everyone a FREEEE.......

Hahaha! Free iPads!

 

[.:ryan:.]

1.7% return rate compared to 6% for iPhone 3Gs

 

[billyjoegibsonx]

This is utter bs.

 

[Mike84]

not all people who buy the iphones get applecare. the .55% doesnt help that much.

Doesn't applecare come with the phone for the first 90 days or so?

 

[RalfTheDog]

So far dog and pony show

I find that comment offensive.

 

[Kavier]

he can even pretend 0.00001%, nobody would ever be able to check the figures

So true!
