Apple gets all defensive, free iPhone 4 cases for everyone

16 July, 2010
Apple just finished off its press conference dedicated on the iPhone 4 reception issues leaving us quite puzzled, to say the least. At one point Steve Jobs was saying that every phone has a weak spot, then he...

    Getting back to my lessons learnt from 3G? Well, in comparison to cars, I've owned Subaru Impreza STI version 4,6,7 and 9. Some gave me heaps of problems, but I still like my STIs, and I still have one~

      You dont need to get a data plan to get the iphone.Havent you ever heard of buying a phone unlocked and just using wi fi.Saying people dont have the money is crazy, how do you know.

There are a lot of cheap alternatives out there from nokia, lg, and samsung. Or get one ofthose cheap chinese iphone clones :)

If you have a change of heart and realize that Apple products are not for you, then that's your thing, but it does not mean that all of us who are still happy with Apple products should follow you. Gosh, who do you think you are?

You have no reason to get affected. You're jealous. That's what it is. I don't even understand why Steve's statements make you mad? He wasn't talking to you, but to the media and the iphone4 users. It has nothing to do with you, so stop thinking that you're so important, lol.

                    It's like this. 5 iphone4 users say that this antenna issue is really not a big deal, and that they can make and receive calls just fine, and is even better than the 3gs. And then there's these 5 non-iphone users who keep on complaining over and over again of an issue about the iphone4 that they have read somewhere on the internet and say that the iphone4 could jot make calls.

                    Who would you believe? The iphone4 users who actually use the phone, or the non-iphone4 users who have not even held the iphone4 and are just basing their claims from somewhere else?

                      That`s because your precious Iphone has an extraordinary price tag and because Stevo is a wackjob.That`s why it`s affecting me, oh and because people are so gullible to what he says....arrogant Apple statements like these make me mad....just admit that your phone HAS a fault and move on!By not stating that makes me even more mad!

                        Kudzu, 18 Jul 2010The reason non iphone users are complaining isnt they jealo... moreWell first of all. If you are a non iphone user, you are in no position to complain because you have not experienced the issue yourself. Can a Mercedes Benz driver go to a BMW delearship and complain about a BMW issue that he has never experienced? Of course not. As Apple stated, only .55% of iphone4 customers complained about this issue. Is iphone users do not see this as a major issue, why should non iphone users do? Iphone users are not affected by this issue, so why do non iphone users act like they're the ones experiencing a reception drop? Lol. Would you rather listen to an iphone user or to a non-iphone user?

                          There a lot of people who cannot afford an iphone. They cannot afford to buy their own media files and apps. They cannot afford a data plan which is required for an iphone. So they are jealous of us who can :). Because we can afford all the luxuries that the iphone offers while they can't. Also, there are other fanboys out there who will never switch to the iphone because they have dediczted their lives to nokia. And because nokia is losing their market share to Apple, they get jealous and mad.

People here lie. As you can see from the posts in here. A lot of people who do not even own an iphone complain as if they own one, lol.

                                My suggestion to you is, go to an Apple store and try it out. Also, remember that Apple offers a full refund if you are not happy with your purchase, so you really have nothing to worry about.

                                Personally, I am very happy with my iphone4, but then I am not you, so you're really better off trying it out for yourself.

                                  you people are shouting just because it is Apple. think about Nokia when it bought N93 and N93i with camera problem, same goes for N92... Camera stops working perfectly after some heavy photo shots. I've experienced about 4 N93, 2 Nn3i and a N92. What about the E90? it has a camera button that really sucks. N900 from nokia is a real bullshit.

                                  The Nexus One couldn't provide us even with a smooth slider lol, why aren't you guys talking about these things?

                                  The jog dial of P series of SE stops working after some months. My Xperia X1 flash wasn't working just after 1 month!


                                  Not a single phone is perfect. I-Phone made a mistake, so better stop blaming.

                                        You guys should realised that over time, the antenna will get rusted and poisonous. This due to your hand is "wet" and affect the chemical composition of the steel bands.

                                        Furthermore, external antenna leads to greater radioation exposure.

                                        Just an information for you to digest...
