Jobs says Signal Strength a "non issue"

Glideslope said:
Sorry, but it demonstrates prior knowledge of aforementioned design flaw. Which is exactly why the legal dept freaked and had him send the infamous "follow up".

A good legal team will have no trouble tying this to the "Bumper". Being a South Paw I look forward to the Class Action.:apple:

True indeed. This ought to be fun. If only "a free bumper for all" was enough.

Apple have never before put out their own iPhone case/protector (or have they? never this minimalistic anyway). Why start now??
 
Why

I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and calm down. Anyone who bought an iPhone 4 today can simply return the phone to the store and receive a full refund. You'll then be free too find another phone that works better for you or go back to your old iPhone. It's really as simple as that. If you do want Apple to address the issue, then the best way to force them to do that is to return your phone, not complain on a message board.

I think that's exactly what most of us intend to do, and I will be returning mine this morning. However, while not all of us are Apple Fanatics, most of us here are dedicated Apple users and were exited about the features of the new phone. I see no harm in coming here and blowing off steam and sharing our experiences with others (as well to tell others who have not purchased it that to do so is at this time, IMO, a mistake). I certainly would never recommend this POS to anyone I know.

It's obvious now the thing is poorly designed and unbelievably Jobs' reaction is to display the same irrational behavior that got him in trouble with Apple so many years ago. Because he is a brilliant visionary and a passionate salesman we sometimes forget that he is an arrogant, non-technical ego-maniacal, jerk.

The solution is make a product that "does what it's suppose to" not make a bunch of excuses (Buy a case, hold it different). There is no way to fix this other than recall them all, and of course, Apple will never do this. But the mainstream media is starting to pick up the story now and depending on how much traction it gets (and how many people return their phones) will force Apple to do something other than tell people to learn how to hold it.
 
OK, I dont mean to shove my old post on people from a previous thread, but ...

Apple are seriously suggesting we're holding their phone wrong? Three years ago it was perfectly fine!

Iphone solution

I was really,really going to buy an Iphone. I have an Ipad and love it, but I want a *********g phone that works primarily as a phone and then have extra goodies. The Iphone was the only one that did it all, at least except for the phone part. Now the Motorola Droid X is coming in 3 weeks and on the Verizon network. It does so much more than the Iphone. Sure the Iphone display is slightly better, but the Droid X more than makes up for it in other areas, including replacing the battery. Verizon is going to sell a TON of the Droid X's. Jobs' response is unbelievable.

Aww, man. How COULD YOU shove that down our throats?? :) It's not like dozens of this example haven't already found their way onto this thread...

Exactly why I believe Jobs either didn't send that e-mail, or he was drunk or something.

No way they're calling this a non-issue, when you iphone apple support, they're inundated and say they're investigating...

Wow, look at that Calculator icon. Now there's a trip down memory lane.
 
I believe in the Design Flaw theory, but there's also people with no signal issues at all. Hope we'll get the full story soon.

Well...

Mr. SJ the almighty obviously wants this numbers to go even higher then they already are:

and after all this mess they will too - no doubt...


To be honest, that guy has accumulated so much of a bad karma recently that I am not surprised at all that is bouncing back right into his face... :rolleyes:

SNAP. No doubt. And he will likely do some more interviews like the D8 one where he comes off as incredibly defensive (and a jerk). Sorry, Steve. You did it, not me.

I mean that's a bogus solution, i want to just make a phone call with my cell phone and not have to worry about where I'm holding it.

Don't get an iphone problem solved. Want an iphone 4, I guess you will have to deal with problem until there is a solution.
