Steve Jobs on Antenna Issue, "Stay tuned. We are working on it."

rwilliams said:
Keynotes and press releases are rehearsed, polished, and gone over plenty of times to say exactly what they want to say. Emails are usually not. His company is also being blasted in the press over the phone's issues, and he's undoubtedly getting a lot of emails from unhappy people about this. Pressure can get to anybody, and when you consider that Jobs isn't exactly the most humble guy on the planet......

and I did say "candid emails". If you truly believe those emails on BGR...good for you, but I would be willing to bet money that they are not. Of course, there is no true way to confirm the emails anyway...so this is all irrelevant.

Its fake. People are getting better at spoofing email addresses now.

And it will get more amusing when idiots like BGR get emails from Apple legal and the posts magically dissapear from the site. While I'm not sure if its a crinimal offence, I know you could be held civily liable for faking a conversation with someone and protraying them in a manner that makes them look bad or gives them loss of income/etc etc...

It could be a life altering decision for some people. :D



How could you be so sure? I mean, really...

I doubt anyone here actually KNOWS Steve Jobs, so how can we say that something is unlike him?

Because Steve is a chairman and the CEO of Apple. Saying "it's just a phone" is basically telling the person that they can go out an get any phone, and it doesn't have to be from Apple. He would never do that, as he knows many of his email replies are made public within a few hours.
 
I dont undersand why you guys dont just chill out. and wait peacefully.... Just wait for a few days. your 30 days wont run out that fast. this is the last thread im writing this in. ****.

Dude stop being such an Apple Fanboy. It's sickening.

BGR is one of the most reputable technology bloggers on the Internet. You're only calling him an "idiot" b/c you don't want to believe the emails are true. I have no idea what the truth is but I'm not going to just call someone an idiot b/c I HOPE a post isn't true.
 
I don't care if this is real or not.

Why in the world would this guy be such an ass to someone like Steve? I would never shoot such an e-mail like that to anyone unless I had a relationship with that person.

I just cannot understand that people send off such correspondence to a CEO, and expect to get resolution. If it is real, i'm shocked Steve even replied.
 
Apple will likely release iOS 4.0.1 in the next couple of weeks, not only to try to get rid of these reception issues, but to take care of the numerous other bugs that people (including myself) have found in 4.0. If their fix doesn't resolve the issues, or they continue to deny that this is a problem, then by all means, people should return their phones.

Usinig logic doesn't make someone a Fanboy. The overuse of the word "Fanboy"...is what is sickening.

So it's "logical" to call someone, who you've never met and who posts a conversation that they believe to be fact, an "idiot?" A "fanboy" is someone who defends a company and loves their products no matter the circumstance or defects. So in the instance of defending Apple, with NO knowledge of the facts and when the emails could very well be true, is a clear example of "fanboyism."

Seeing how Steve usually replies to his "confirmed" emails, it doesn't make this one seem any more farfetched to me.

Also, it looks like this story is gaining more traction, be it real or not. ;)

So what does that make you?

For the record, I don't encourage anyone calling anyone and idiot or anything else for that matter. Using the term "Fanboy" in the way you did is conveyed in a derogatory manner, making you no better.
 
What I'm really suprised about is the fact that Steve hasn't had his iPhone taken off him and been banned from using a computer/mac so that he can't email anyone anymore.

What does it make me? Are you serious? Who did I defend? I simply told the guy not to call anyone an "idiot" without knowing the facts. He could have his own opinion and state it like an adult just like many others on this thread. "Fanboy" isn't a derogatory term and in the instance I used it, it was more than appropriate.

Yeah, like Steve responded to an email that began with:

"Stop with jackass comments."

:rolleyes:

Looks like my skepticism was well-founded. If you're shopping around a bunch of emails looking for money, your credibility is in question, IMO. Even if Steve did reply, he'd only have to do so once to get a set of valid headers, and then you could fabricate an entire exchange based upon those.

... but AppleInsider's credibility is A-OK?

The fact that he was looking for money doesn't mean anything - except that he's a greedy little so-and-so looking to capitalise on his one moment in the sun!

Doesn't negate the emails, I'm afraid. And who cares anyway? There's nothing controversial in there. It's more or less the same stuff Jobs has been saying to other disgruntled apple-fans lately.


edit: NOW, we can say it's ********:

http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/07/01/apple-pr-steve-jobs-iphone-4-conversation-is-a-fake/
 
Check the up date on the home page of MacRumors. This whole set up is a pack of lies. BGR may have even paid for right to print it. The writer made the whole thing up.

Someone want to tell me now how reputable Boy Genius Report is?

Others wouldn't take it and MacRumors only went with it after it came out on BGR. I'd have to take anything they now say on this subject with the same skepticism as I would anything printed by Gizmodo who now has a large ax to grind against Apple after their reporter was thrown in jail for buying stolen property.

"Asked on the record whether Steve Jobs was the author of any or all of these statements, a top Apple spokesman emphatically denied it."

if someone has a top apple spokesman right there answering questions, WTF are they not drilling him for info on the issues??
