Phone going back... now!

So you would hope that 1.7 million iPhone users get screwed just so you can get what you want? A new phone from Santa? :eek:

Might want to take a look at that "part of you" and figure out what went wrong. :p

No... It's not that at all. Those 1.7 million people are free independent thinkers who can decide for themselves if they are getting "screwed". People like the OP have decided that they are and instead of being an Apple sheep have returned their product accordingly. Others (most likely people who hold their phone with their right hand and live in a strong signal area) have decided they can "tolerate" the issue (or have signals so strong that they don't have any observable degradation).

My hope is that Apple doesn't simply issue a software patch to mitigate the issue, while ignoring the underling flaw and at the same time sticking to their regularly scheduled yearly product cycle (most likely to happen). But instead, I hope they do the same thing short term (issue a software update to mitigate the issue), and do a mid-cycle product refresh to redesign the antenna array (move the gap to the bottom?) and up to flash memory to where it SHOULD be by the end of this year (64 GB).
 
I AGREE WITH THE OP! I think that he, and others who feel so devastated SHOULD return those wicked phones!

If its okay with everyone, I love my iPhone 4 so I'll be keeping it kthxbye.
 
OMFG stop complaining about the damn reception issue, how many threads are we gonna get a day, a week, a month, about this damn problem, you cant wait for a fix than return it and get something else, you don't need to post a thread about your problems everyday, we have enough, you guys are really making me leave MR, these forums are really being annoying with these unnecessary threads.
 
Wow. Some of the posters in here need to relax. Maybe go play an hour or two in the park?

The same posters that bitch "I'm tired of the reception issue threads - just return the phone if you don't like it" can't complain when someone states that that's exactly what they're doing.

And if you don't like these threads - stop reading. Who's forcing you to click in. Sheesh.

This message does to all. Its good he returned the phone. I'm a big apple fan and probably owned more devices than all of you. Yet I dont cry like a B**** when someone makes a negative comment about apple. Just shut up and take it like men.

"oh just put a case on it" Are you guys kidding or are you guys just plain retarded? that is not the solution. I DONT WANT A CASE ON MY 600 DOLLAR PHONE.

"Dont buy the phone then", right? Thats the mentallity of most people here. Just listen to yourselves people, you sound like 11 year old kids. This is not what is expected from a company such as APPLE. Apple needs to take action and find out if this is truely and issue or not. If it is, it needs to be fixed, no excuses or temporary solutions.

Sad to see it leave, but i'd rather cancel my contract / get a refund and wait until Apple fix their phone.

Was a great ride iPhone4, but I'll wait thanks. Or maybe I won't bother.

Thanks for posting. I just cancelled my i4 order too. Yes the display is great, and the camera and video are nice, but I need a phone to be a working phone. Right now I don't know if I will wait for a fix or just get a 3GS iphone. This will be my 1st iphone and I was so excited about it. Now not so anymore.

I know a lot of people here will have negative comments for you, but if people didn't post about their problems with the phone, no one would know about them and Apple would not do anything. Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinions. If you phone is working fine, great for you, but all the posts of problems cannot be made up. There definitely is a problem with the phone. Hopefully with all the attention the problems with i4 are getting will force Apple to fix it.

Yeah but did he really needed to make a thread telling us that he's going to return it?
Click to expand...

^^^^ Exactly.

We don't care if you returned it. Do you really have no life than to troll forums about a phone that you don't care about any more? Puhlease.

and since you are probably reading this, my wife and I both have one that is perfect--yes, perfect. No reduced signal no matter how we hold it, no yellow glue, no battery problems, no nothing.

It's just a really nice phone that I hope will see an update to fix people's issues who actually care.

Have a good life with whatever the next product you'll complain about.

This is an Apple product message board, maybe he wanted to commiserate, to conversate, I don't know... what I do know is that there are some pretty ridiculous threads on here every day, and if somebody wants to start a "hey my problems were so bad I was forced to return my phone, anybody having the same problem" type of thread so be it! That's obviously what this type of forum is for...

The difference is that to some people, starting a "I stood in line for 40 hours and counted sheep" thread is valid, but a "I loved my iPhone 4 but the reception issue is forcing me to return it" is NOT. So, as long as the threads are positive or show a fan boyish devotion to Apple they are cool, but ones showing disappointment are not... I got it, I see what your looking for...

On the other hand, I also think it's a little hypocritical...

What if every single person on these boards created an "I bought on an iPhone" or "I returned my iPhone" thread? That would be fun to read, wouldn't it?

Oh, wait. That's already happened. Never mind.

Good for you. I'll be right behind you by the end of the week if there is no fix.

People make returning the phone into too much of a big deal. So what, just get another one in the fall when it's all sorted out. In the meantime, spare yourself the frustration if you've got an unsatisfactory experience.

It's just a phone.
