•For every iPhone 4 purchased prior to September 30, 2010.


Is a new, fixed, version coming out then? Interesting since iPhone events are always in June.. As an Apple fan (and shareholder) I'm disappointed that they didn't do more to resolve it now. "Here's free case" is a bandaid not a solution.

Apple's Official response to the AntennaGate Storm of bad publicity:

• Less than 1 per 100 additional dropped phone 100 calls over iPhone 3Gs,
• attributed to only 20% of iPhone 4 owners having cases...
• Apple will give FREE iPhone 4 Cases for all iPhone 4 buyers who bought before September 30th...
• If you bought an Apple Bumper case, you will get a refund.
• Only 1.7% of all iPhone 4 purchasers have returned their iPhones...
• Return rate of iPhone 4 is less than 1/3 of the return rate for iPhone 3Gs.
• Apple is selling every iPhone 4 they can make
• Apple has sold well over 3,000,000 iPhone 4s since release date

PING!

Please don't feed the anti-Apple Trolls,
it just encourages them!

I laughed every time I heard people speculating about “iPhone 4 recall?” — no way was Apple going to recall the phones; issuing free “bumper” cases was the most obvious solution.

Of course, I imagine that 3rd party case vendors aren’t going to be too happy about competing against “free”...

I’m getting an Omnia HD. It may be a last year phone but it still has features that the iphone doesn’t support and will never support. Plus there is a lot of customization available. You can install Mame on it.

• Q: Why is San Fran AT&T reception so poor? Jobs: In Texas, it's 3 weeks to get a cell tower approved, but in San Fran it could take up to 3 years because everyone wants better coverage, but nobody wants a cell tower in their backyard.

Quote of the day.

All in all, this issue reaffirms my rule:
“NEVER buy new tech. Wait until it’s been out for a while.”

Happens with many phones: BlackkBerry Bold 9700, hold it in a normal way, 5 bars go down to 1 bar.


I tried holding my 9700 every way possible and couldn't get the bars to drop from 5.

I attempted to put in a new battery in my Iphone. I broke the screen while doing this.

I sent my iphone to http://ubreakifix.com for repair. They did a great job and very affordable.

If I had known about this company earlier, I would have had them do my battery swap instead.

I do believe that Steve Jobs hit a home run today in that press conference. Actually, more like a grand slam - only with the bases loaded!

I think we should all stand up and cheer that a CEO of a major company has the guts to get in front of his customers and air the dirty laundry. Most other corporations would never send out a CEO in this situation, they'd instead send some anonymous flack out there to take the heat. But not Apple and certainly not Steve Jobs.

The announcement of everybody getting a free case is pretty exciting. I can't wait to get mine. Even though I already have a case for my phone, I could always use another one. What other company out there would make such a grand gesture? Would Ford Motors pinstripe your car for free if it was recalled for some glitch? Would Microsoft give you a free mousepad for a glitch in their software? I think not! Only Apple would bestow free stuff on their customers like that.

I think Steve Jobs was very down-to-earth and modest in his presentation. He freely admitted that he and his company are not perfect. However, all us loyal customers are willing to settle for near-perfect.

I only wish I had a billion extra dollars lying around so I could invest it all in this company. This Apple company is definitely going places.

Please ping me when a picture of the free case is posted somewhere. Can't wait to see what it is going to look like.
