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...

    iPhone dose not need any antenna, and who need one when you have enhanced software. Isn't right Steve Jobs.

            imac, 17 Jul 2010Steve Jobs was saying that every phone has a weak spot,(I ... morei remember a few weeks ago they where trying to sap much money out of people by selling the bumpers XD

            servers them right for

            stealing
            being arrogent
            lying
            greedy
            suing
            ignoring cultures
            denying
            manipulating
            forcing
            blaming others

            and now steve is angry cause of what he did to everyone and no other company wants to help him and apple

            make too many enemies and your chance of survival is slim

            and that is what is happening to apple now

              Ando, 17 Jul 2010You should try drop off your desire's wifi signal. cause im... moreWell buddy! My girlfriend is actually trying it out at the mo coz she wants to upgrade but has been given a chance to check it out just picked it up this morning, "works in the industry" and no signal loss over here. I still have go outside to get a signal for my HTC Desire lol and guess what we are on the same network.
              Am probably gonna be categorised as one of the unlucky few coz the phone has been checked and they've found nothing wrong with it. Yet when it comes to the Iphone the unlucky few are being made out to seem like the majority.

                I have had no problem with the antenna on my iPhone 4. I tried to get the bars to drop but only lost 2 out of five. it took ages for them to go down as well. Plus I never hold my phone that tight and I'm left handed.
                My phone was one of the ones from the second batch not sue if that made any difference. Thought I'd get my 2 cents in.

                    Steve Jobs was saying that every
                    phone has a weak spot,(I never knew that phones had weak spots untill the iphone 4 was released i've tried to hold three different phones(nokia x6,nokia n900 and nokia 5800) in all possible ways and gripping them but i never saw any drop in network bars or got any dropped calls) . Then he
                    claimed everybody makes mistakes (THIS IS THE MODEST STATEMENT BY APPLE AND SHOWED THAT THEY AREN'T ARROGANT TO CLAIM THEIR PHONE IS PERFECT)
                    but Apple is quick to fix theirs so
                    that's why they have loyal users.
                    Apple wants its users happy.
                    since everyone cries for free cases,
                    they will give away free cases. But
                    not because they've messed up, but
                    only because "they loves their
                    users".
                    (THIS IS WHERE APPLE SHOWED THEIR ARROGANCE IN PUBLIC BY CLAIMING THAT THEY DIDN'T MESS UP IN ANY WAY BY THE CONTROVERSIAL ANTENNA WHICH HAS HIT THE MEDIA BY STORM IN RECENT WEEKS AND CLAIMING THAT THEY'LL PROVIDE THE CASES NOT TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE BUT JUST BECAUSE THEY LOVE THEIR USERS HMM..I DOUBT IF THERE WOULD BE ANY COMPLAINS OR PEOPLE CRYING OUT FOR CASES TO HOLD THEIR MOBILE PHONES IF THEY HAD NO NETWORK ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE ANTENNAE AND SOME CLAIM THE GLASS CASE EASILY SHATTERS WHEN ITS DROPPED BUT I HAVEN'T WITNESSED THIS) All in all this antennae issue may be exaggerated by the media so as to tag apple with a bad reputation but what apple are failing is the way how they are handling this situation by trying to maintain the good image they've had ever since iphone was released by being arrogant and claiming their device has no flaws or whatsoever and directly pointing fingers to some of the complainig users that its them who are faulty at handling their devices. Whats earning apple a bad reputation is their arrogance. If this design which keeps the antenna exposed to user touches has no faults then it'll be interesting to see if apple releases their next device with the same architecture.

                            there r alot of hate, 17 Jul 2010hey easy up haters no one is forcing you to buy this iphone... moreYes exactly, that's the reason. Cause you have to be filthy rich to spend 800 dollars a year. Makes kinda sense if you are living in the deepest parts of the Amazon jungle and live on catching fish.

                            So by your defintion there two types of people that have or don't have the iPhone.

                            First on the the poor and jealous people that don't have it.

                            Second is the st*pid IQ deprived wannabe "rich" people that do have it.

                            Good for you!

                                No..no..no..you dont understand..
                                And you will not understand ever than ever u have..

                                I only cares about how many "icrap" , "is tupid" , "ish eep" reborn or born in this earth again..

                                You know??? HaHa..

                                This makes me think about the price of ticket WWDC 2010..
                                $1599 us dollar per ticket to listen the worst device details..if you want to enter..after that waiting for the announced of "icrap"..and people applause again n agained..

                                What f0r now??? And what we have see??? People dont know they already robbed by appl e..st3ve j0b..

                                bullsh*t..

                                So the problem is not who buying who a cellphones..juz turn back your "superior iphone 4"(only ifan said..haha!!!) to appl e..or you can preorder the color you like on the bumper case or shapes for free from appl e and dont worried how much money st3ve j0b have in his pocket..

                                      "Just bear in mind that it’s not the Bumpers that Apple is giving away but some other type of cases by another manufacturer."

                                      According to apple.com, it is in fact the bumpers that they will be giving away.
