That's the point. If you're the one trying to troubleshoot the issue and trying to fix the problem that isn't the only thing that matters.
As I haven't tested all cell phones on the Market (neither have you) that statement is dis-information.

For the time being, this response has proven to be absolutely wrong. The man says stubbornly there's no issue with reception when it's obvious there is one.
Sorry, I'm not a member of the Cult of Mac, that makes absolutely no sense to me unless you're forgetting to add a </sarcasm> tag in there someplace.
As such, there's nothing official from Apple so far as has been the case since this whole fiasco started days ago. Those emails, while having been verified by several people as valid, still don't constitute anything resembling a "fix" in the pipeline.
Jobs says we don't know how to hold it right (which is a lie), he says we don't have reception problems (which is another lie), and then he's saying "shut up and leave me alone" which is absolute truth and doesn't need interpretation.
I've learned that since 1976 at 9 years old I couldn't take Steve Jobs at his word then, nothing has changed in the past 34 years to alter that understanding (except that he uses much shorter statements nowadays, because back then you couldn't shut him up...).
I found it extremely suspicious that Apple released bumpers on the same day as the phone. One has to ask why?
Did you return your iPhone?
That's true!
Jobs revealed the truth to LTD while he was busy performing fellatio on him.
Why is it suspicious that a company would release an accessory for a product at the products launch? When would it be "not suspicious"? Before, when it has no purpose? After, when people concerned over protecting their new devices have already bought a case from somewhere else that didn't wait until after launch?
What is with the hysteric paranoia and rampant illogic in this forum lately?
my godness....... apple LIES being dripped....software fix for a hardware engineering ********P? the "fix" will probably be a graphic interface to visually "push up" the reception bars on the ifail4
what planet are you on? or perhaps your brain is frozen in your location?

If I were going to purchase a case to protect my iPhone 4 it wouldn't be the bumper case.
I would purchase the bumper case for better grip of the phone, that is it.
This is the fourth iPhone release and still plagued with connectivity issues.
When will Apple address this.
Haha, youre trying to be funny don't you? Steve Jobs don't lie? He lies a lot did you ever watched his keynotes? "Nobody wants to watch video on a little screen like iPod nano!" "Nobody likes to read anymore", and the most recent one "iPhone 4 losing signal is a none issue".
I'm unsure if this is a hardware vs software issue, but I do know that if I was a shareholder, I would want Jobs to either quit answering emails or take a social etiquite class. You don't tell people they is "no reception issue" when it's abundantly clear thousands are having issues.
If it's not a true reception issue, say something like this "There is no reception issue per se, but we know there is a problem. Stay tuned."

Not only released but placed them on the technical specifications section of the products web pages. Not a typical place for protectors on Apple pages at all.
It's hard to believe the problem can completely be fixed by software. I could, however, see some changes being done, but a complete fix is hard to believe when experts like this were saying two weeks ago there would be an issue:

Agreed. And you don't tell them you are doing something wrong, like holding it. I couldn't imagine saying that to one of my clients.
The design of the Apple accessory called ‘Bumper’ is uniquely designed to solve the specific problem, and it suggests that Apple was well aware of the antenna issue prior to production. If Steve Jobs wasn’t so obsessed with making products look sexy, they could have easily bonded the encasement (antenna) into molded rubber. This would have provided ‘true’ bumper like’ protection while making the phone considerably more ergonomic, and less likely to be physically dropped from your sweaty conductive hand(s).
Your statements, per usual, are both hypocritical and enraging (enraging because of the pure gall hypocrisy of it).
So if APPLE has a problem w/ one of their "Heavenly" products, it's just a minor hiccup, but if an NON-Apple product does, it's instantly a fail in your hypocritical eyes and can never redeem itself. And you literally call for the tar and feathers when it's a non-Apple device.
I'm using my freedom of speech to say-- I sincerely wish you all the personal and professional misery in the world. Given the way you view Apple (through incredibly thick rose-coloured glasses), it MUST be Hell on Earth for poor, unfortunate people in your day-to-day (in-person) life with you just being in it.
I don't care if I get banned (despite being an Apple supporter, yet one who views the company realistically w/ all it's pluses and minuses). I'm taking a stand and calling you out. Sir, I despise you.
I think Jobs is hinting that there isn't a reception issue inherent in the phone itself, but the problem is a result of a bug in the antenna control software.
Replying from my phone so I don't have the patience to read through 11 pages but doesn't anyone consider the possibility that the "stay tuned" comment could be in response to the request for a bumper?
Btw, that's pretty shady. Asking for freebies.

so there's a reception problem. Hardware or software, it's still a reception problem.
Thank god its gonna get fixed, i hope the ios update comes out monday so when i go get mine on tuesday itll be good to go.
