I fully agree. It’s always interesting to see companies deny any problem or issue and then their actions speak 180 degrees from their statements.
Too bad so many of their faithful simply take the words - not the deeds - to heart. Actions should speak louder than words!
It will be interesting to see what happens at the end of September. My money is still on a PE/PTFE based coating over the antennas. Fits with the schedule as well, knowing that a product shipped at the end of September needs to start production in early July.
And it also falls in line with my favorite rumor du jour, that T-MO will get the iPhone. And hey if they wanted to upgrade to support HSDPA+ that is entirely up to them.
Per a previous conversation between us about how prevalent cases were, I did see an iPhone 4 without a case today. Of iPhone 4s I have seen we are now at 50% with a case. Considering the bumpers are free now, or even a case, this does raise the question all over again of how badly this affects people. Surely she is aware of the problem, and the workaround being provided. Why not get a case unless you aren’t experiencing the problem?
I will admit I’m wanting to have my cake and eat it too here. A case doesn’t mean they had a problem as lots of people get them anyway and no case means no problem.
Yep, my thoughts as well. Though for the sake of argument I'd propose an enamel coating, e.g. polyester, polyester-polyimide, or something similar. But I agree that Teflon would also work.
Seems to me they're delaying the white version of the iPhone to retrofit the antenna fix. Granted, I've read there are also issues with the white plastic itself. But they'd be insane not to work the antenna fix into anything they can from here on out.
