    Apple said in a statement the following:

    Given all this, it's surprising that Apple has made it clear in instructions it issued to its telephone reps (and leaked to The Boy Genius Report) that it has no intention of offering free Bumpers to customers who complain about their iPhone 4's signal loss.
