White iPhone at the end of July!

 

[ohla313]

now I really can't wait to get my iPhone4!!

 

[Pez555]

YES white iphone end of July. Sweet. BRING IT ON!

 

[Sustainability]

This is what happens when people start demanding free cases. It gives Apple an opportunity to put a bandaid on the problem instead of actually fixing the issue.

Not that I have the phone yet (will in an hour), but I do believe that there is a true problem they are just brushing under the rug now.

Also...

FREE WAFFLES!

 

[njd911]

does the 30 day to ruturn iphone and not pay restocking fee apply to at&t purchases also?

 

[Lava Lamp Freak]

Surely the first column is meant to be "Max Bars"?

I was thinking the same thing. It doesn't make sense the way it is displayed.

 

[Branskins]

I was thinking the same thing. It doesn't make sense the way it is displayed.

That will be fixed in the new update!

 

[hahaland]

Free case for iphone4 through September 30. Does that mean there will a hardware revision?

 

[fender57]

Any other CEOs out there who use salty language during a press conference? 😀

 

[curitibagarrett]

so only free bumpers for purchases before sept 30th....sounds like a hardware fix will be coming out sometime in the next two months to fix this issue.

 

[mb2696]

you can get stats to say whatever you want


even .5 calls in 100 x 2million = 10,000 calls

along those lines...

for a meaningful "delta" you need to give a percent or whatever your base number is.

if 3GS drops 0.5 out of 100 and i4 drops, say 1.4 out of 100, you are talking about 2.8x as many dropped calls or 180% increase!

You're reading it wrong.

Black bumper ordered immediately via iPhone Apple Store App 😀

I'll go to the store for the refund when it arrives.

Yep, if you want one you don't have to cover up, return it and wait a few months.

 

[marcr92]

engadget says its time for Q&A....
i want to know how long its going to ****ing take to get my damn phone

 

[ian-frs]

Well time to return my phone until a fix is out there. Sept 30th phone here I come!

 

[rockyroad55]

What about those that got an iPhone but did not purchase a bumper yet? Do I get a free one too?

 

[fobia79]

Yep, if you want one you don't have to cover up, return it and wait a few months.

They will fix this quietly. I will return mine and just wait it out.

 

[Lava Lamp Freak]

Steve just answered someone that no hardware changes are coming. I'd bet the fix will be iPhone 5.

 

[curitibagarrett]

Steve just answered someone that no hardware changes are coming. I'd bet the fix will be iPhone 5.

why would they only be giving free bumpers away until sept 30th if no fix was coming/

 

[fobia79]

Now it's up to the reporters to ask the right questions.

 

[fender57]

Steve just answered someone that no hardware changes are coming. I'd bet the fix will be iPhone 5.

I agree. It sounds like to me he's giving everyone until September 30 to get a free case/bumper, after that, you live with what you've got until iPhone 5.
