well.....
I have experienced the problem and it's real and it's also not as small as Apple depicted. I was getting annoyed and wondering where is he going?
But they addressed it and it's a solution as I well know since I have a case.

There is so such thing as a small percentage of users having the problems. All the damn iPhones are experiencing this. Those that dont notice it let it slide because theyre the big time fanboys that would suck Steve Jobs cock if they had the chance. Don't you all get it? This free bumper **** is to appease the masses, it doesnt fix ****. Like the Romans with their coliseum games, its just to make the poor people feel like theyre being taken cared of. It amazes me how many of you do not realize this. This is a business, it is about not losing money. Not about making customers happy. Did Apple have to give out free bumpers? NO, but guess what. It was the CHEAPEST way to get everyone to be a little quieter about the issue. And it worked, because you are all SHEEP. Now...begin calling me names and what not, it wont matter, I'll know its a defensive mechanism. You read this paragraph, my job is done.
I read the last line, but I could tell by the expletives and the parts in all caps that it was a worthless read not relevant to the discussion.
I'm VERY pleased with the press conference and how Steve handled himself with this issue. He didn't have to give away free cases and praise us users, but he did. Apple's response to this issue and acknowledging the proximity issue and responding this fast makes me an even happier Apple customer.
Who else is with me?
I'm with you. Most other companies would have told its customers to screw off if only 0.5% of users were experiencing an issue. Apple is held to a higher standard and they have responded as such.
No YOU'RE joking, right? That's the most cynical view imaginable. Apple was forthcoming during this press conference, provided statistics, identified the issue, offered a free bumper solution, showed how other phones behave in exactly the same way, and said they will continue to improve the product.
My Palm phone acted the same way when held in my left hand to the point of dropping calls. I went through five of those crappy things, all had the same issue on Verizon. Did anyone scream at Palm for selling a defective product and at Verizon for having a crappy network? Did Palm hold a press conference and offer free cases?
People like you will never be happy because you view everything through your half empty glass. I think Apple did an awesome job - more than any other company would have done in this circumstance. I admire Apple for having this conversation with its customers. I'm more impressed with Apple today than at any other time. Good on them for having this press conference.
Statistics aren't proven. What we were told could have been manipulated, easily to suit them.
Again, it's a PR stunt. Apple didn't have conversation with its customers, it had conversation, with the press media.
Isn't the whole point of statistics to quantify things factually. They probably have a better handle on the numbers than anybody else even if they are off by a bit.
