when I found this problem on my phone 2 days, I was like ok ...apple will get it 
BUT after what SJ said yesterday, i'm more than pissed. I'm planning on getting a case for the phone anyways, but MAN UP and admit what your company did wrong and fix it

No. But I know damn sure that sensational media and Jesus Diaz aren't going to convince me that it's as widespread as they are making it out to be.
Right.
So because you happen to have gotten lucky and gotten two phones without the defect, these web sites are all lying and it is some conspiracy against Apple and all made up.
Be more than happy to. I did pick up a bumper while I was at it you know.
that explains it lol
when i found out about the problem on my phone, i wasn't pissed or anything. i thought apple would fix it, either via software fix or some kind of hardware fix. I was going to get a case anyways, so that'd take care of that problem. However, I'm pissed at SJ for saying what he said, not maning up take responsibility for his million/billion dollar product.
Not saying that at all. I'm just saying that there are a lot more happy iPhone 4 owners out there than there are angry ones. That and I happen to be one of the happy ones. Don't hate.
See, we want people in positions like his.. that are open and accessible. But when they are, we punish them.
I'm sure he popped off via his iPhone, but meanwhile Apple's trying to figure out how to handle a fix for those that need it.
And all the people who aren't having the problem are all making it up?
As much as I try, I can't replicate it, and I've followed the precise instructions in another thread. With that said, I'm not saying that the people who are having the problem are lying either.
Hell, even if I had a phone that exhibited the problem, I'd never have noticed, I have no idea how people can hold their phones like that (and I'm a southpaw chick too, which means i should have been more susceptible according to most). It's uncomfortable and awkward for me to hold it like that.
so why does he have to an axx about it? why can't he just say oh we are looking into it?
by the way, i'm not one of your apple hater, I have or had all the iphones, ipods, ipad, and MBP
Because, honestly, not everyone has a non-abrasive personality. Secondly, I try to be as courteous as possible, but I'm sure if I got bombarded with the e-mails he gets, I'd probably be a bitch.
Where did I say that or imply that I thought that?
However, had I said "screw skottichan and all those people who don't have the problem", you might construe that I DID think that.
Which is why I posted to begin with.
My response was to the guy that said screw Gizmodo for reporting the issue.
Well, at least you didn't say I was drinking the Kool-Aid. That's soo played out.
yes, he is a human being just like the rest of us, but he is also the CEO of a multi-billion company. If he can't take the heat, maybe he shouldn't be doing this?
No, your exact words implied that his unaffected phones were only there by luck. Which is what I was taking notice with.
As big as the media is trying to make out the problem to be, we don't know the final numbers, and from anecdotal experience, I'm finding more people not having the problem, than those who are.
And, I'm guessing the anti-Gizmodo sentiment from some comes from their alleged culpability in the theft of the iPhone4 prototype.
What, responding to people? Maybe he shouldn't, but I think I'd rather deal with his abrasiveness than the usual non-responses from CEOs
So he'll go and be the normal CEO and insulate himself from the world. That would be awesome.
CEO process:
1) Do what the lawyers tell you is ok
2) Do what the board of directors tell you is ok
3) Tell them what they want to hear (ie, what's utterly false but 100% politically correct)
4) Get sick of 1-3 and just stop communicating with anyone directly
