Anonymous, 17 Jul 2010Defective? It sold over 3 million units in 3 weeks. &... moreGood lord! Your reasoning is beyond ..... Did you know that the HTC Desire Clone has sold over 72 million units in China since Feb? Apple has not sold close that many iPhones even in 3 years altogether. That must mean that HTC Desire China Clone is perfect phone, have no defects and must clearly be superior product to iPhone?
Iphone is so "popularity" scam is marketed by Apple in simple way yet clever way. You do realize that iPhone does not actually have a big customer base right? It's the same 12 million iPeople that keeps bying it over and over again every year.
This is how Apple survives, because of iFanboys like you that walk around with "Steve says this and Steve says that" playing through your iPods every morning. New customers would never fall for this iPhone 4 nonsense.

I think and feel that Steve Jobs is the best marketing individual in this planet .... you can check his antenna press conference on 16th July 2010 in Apple site ...
1st, he asked the users not to grip the phone in such a way ....
2nd, he tried to change physics by SW update
I guess if there will be no coverage, but using updated SW -> it shows good signal coverage. I guess it would make Apples relationship worst with AT&T, as end customer will point the finger to AT&T then. And the idea was skipped.
3rd, today in the press conference he was proving that every Smartphones have weak spot, like iphone 4 ...
http://www.apple.com/antenna/ ..... comparing with Blackberry Bold 9700, HTC .. and Samsung smartphone ... anyway none of the smartphones (3 NOKIA models, 4 Blackberry models, One Samsung) in my home have got the trouble in a way what was showed in the video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKIcaejkpD4 .... iphone antenna song … it’s cool
4th, today he provided a solution to use a bumper (or casing) ... it makes more sense now.
That’s for sure; he will not mention that the problem is related with the aggressive industrial design for such a complicated wireless device (with 7 or 8 radio) -> using phone outer case or structure metal as antenna without any non-conductive material coating. iphone 4 antenna simply changes its physical length when gripping on the weak spot as human body is not like insulator. Therefore antenna has got different resonance frequency than what it should get. This is very simple!!!
And for this, Apple doesn’t need 18 antenna scientists/engineers with PhD degree and 100 million worth of antenna chambers.
The data or statistics what he provided today -> those sound nice, but not close to reality! He is simply making us fool ...

Anonymous, 17 Jul 2010Oh so now we're selling our dignity, lol. And that af... moreWow..3 million is such a biggest number!!!
So if you said that..that means you and the other 2999999millions people are admited the problems/issue brought to you all by appl e???
I dont think people from the number you said (3 millions)is all come from new iphone fan..many of them are already a fan before the iphone 4 leaked..I means iphone 3g or 3gs users..
You know who the guy let all of you become laughingstock..st3ve j0b..appl e..I no need to buy cellphone to all of you but juz turn back your problems phone to your compan y as st3ve j0b said before..
At first..
Said about the antenna strength problem is suff with all phones..and it is juz a standar d problem may has for every phone users sometimes..
After that..blame the issue to their iphone 4 d esign..but appl e said to the people you re holding wrong..!?
Next..told their consumer that new i0s 4.o.1 can fix the antenna strength problem..everyone knew appl e is a big lier and this become scam..how come a hardware problem can fixing through the updating software??? This is clearly shown that appl e treated their consumer likes a f0ol..
Now..free plastic case..but this is not the point..the point is"turn back your iphone 4".. Maybe this words will make s ense to many ppl..appl e is starting to lying again..
The person who must solve or handl e this problem on this stage is appl e st3ve j0b..so all of you should complainted to your fruity company how come you ask me for buying cellphone to you all icrap..this is not my responsibility..anyway..Im juz dropping my comments here..
Honestly..I juz pity on all of you..

Anonymous, 17 Jul 2010Utter disrespect? It's either you accept their explan... moreYou also forget that there are many iPhone 4 owners who share a similar sentiment as I do. In no way did I say that everybody should be annoyed as I am.
Why should Apple undergo a recall? Because it is good business to do so; and not just consumer relation wise, but also for monetary reasons; because it is about taking full responsibility instead of just providing a "band-aid" for the problem. Don't forget, Apple is knowingly selling a defective product, and untill they fully eliminate this problem, it is wrong to do so, regardless if the consumer is aware of the problem or not. :)

If you don't, then don't buy the iphone or return it. Why demand for a recall when we can just return it for a full refund? Just because you are upset, it doesn't mean the rest of us would be :)

There is no way anybody could be manipulated with advertising or hype to purchase a defective product; which means we no longer need Quantitative Marketing Research because all that is required to label a product as defective or not can be determined solely on units purchased.

Anonymous, 17 Jul 20100.55% my ass! Why do you people keep beleiving this nonsens... moreSo if it's not .55%, what is it then? If Apple is lying, then let them. They're the ones who's going to suffer the consequences not you.
So now you don't like it that Steve voiced out. But then you also didn't like it when Steve was silent about this matter. Lol.
If Apple is going down, why do even try this hard? Lol. Apple does not owe anyone. It's not a big loss for Apple.

Anonymous, 17 Jul 2010Wow, 223 comments so far. Mostly bad comments from no... moreIt's upsetting because Apple is handling this issue with utter disrespect for the consumer. It is beyond me how a company which has built it's image with anti-mainstream ideas, can suddenly turn around and treat their customers with such disregard to the problem and their customers experiences; going as far as to claim that the phone wasn't being held the "correct" way and trying to push all blame onto AT&T. Now, finally once they have admitted to a faulty design, they refuse to recall and replace defective merchendise while continuing to sell the defective product on the market. This is why it is upsetting. Apparently Apple and the rest of the world have a very contrasting definition of what it means to "Think Differently".

First they said you were holding it wrong, then said its a software issue, and now they say only .55% is effected? this is a companies responsibility to make sure they have a perfect product, People have gone ga-ga over a defective product, which isnt properly implemented with the dual antenna design. right now if you are SATISFIED with the faulty design and want to put something on it and if it DOES satisfy your needs then go ahead and keep it. But eventually when the IPHONE 4 hype goes down you are going to be irritated by its design flaw and eventually going to return your product, already friends of mine have returned it due to this problem, So unless apple re-designs the new antenna issue, theres no way were going to go for a perfect Iphone.

Anonymous, 17 Jul 2010Android dont belongs to any brand....just pay for the copyr... moresamsung and se did not have their own smartphone os so they used others. Nokia's smart os was symbian which it helped develop. I think samsung and se did help a fair bit too. Because of this reason, Android is a threat to symbian so nokia will not switch because they are the foundation keeping symbian afloat. Samsung just recently developed bada.
