The Earliest We Will Be Seeing a Antenna-Coated Revised iPhone 4's

Indeed. Just like the good-old days of MR. (Pre iP4
)And I agree: The free case program was a deft bit of PR-engineering by Apple, but the crisis is over.
You just wasted a post. And no, I doubt Apple will issue a redesign for the iPhone in such a short span of time, or they're gonna infuriate current iPhone 4 owners.
I love the OP, so funny. Most troll's get bored and go away but this guy keeps on going!
I can only assume that he must be really REALLY bored most of the time
Hey buddy, most people dont even discuss the antenna anymore, that was AGES ago. Still trying to hold on eh?

I never understood where this non-conductive coating solution came from, like fixing this problem is just that simple. Apple has a bunch of super smart experienced engineers that, judging by their look into Apple's test facilities, more than likely knew about the extra attenuation. Yet apparently a bunch of guys with PhD's couldn't figure out what the internet did, just slap some ambiguous non-conductive coating on there and watch the problem disappear. Forget the fact that RF is pretty finicky the way it is and adding a coating could just detune the antenna even more, or that it might just rub off after a week of use assuming it sticks in the first place, the internet has created a solution and it must be implemented!

+1. I use a case, so the antenna problem really is non issue for me.

Apple knew full well about any attenuation long before any iPhone 4 was sold, let alone lost.
I'm sure they viewed it as an acceptable trade-off, for more internal volume and device thinness.

I bought my iP4 knowing full-well about this issue, but I don't care. First reason being, I am right handed so this won't affect me. Second reason is that I have a free bumper, which solves any issue. Even if there was no 'Case-Program' I'd still NEVER have my iP4 naked, for use on daily basis.
Wow, did you miss the announcement? It's not butter, it's APPLE BUTTER!
OK, back to the real world.

I have walked in to three stores in three cities, and walked out with new iphones in five minutes. The fact that the website shows "3 weeks" is total bunk.
