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...

0.55% my ass! Why do you people keep beleiving this nonsense. Anyone with any common sense can see that Apple are lying as usual and doing their cover up.

The fact that this has a compnay the size of Apple so worried and nervous that it's CEO comes out of hiding to have a offical "excuse" conference just for 0.55% of the users, that's pure nonsense.

I saw on Foxnews that AT&T stores reported that it's affected over 41% of their iPhone 4 customers. If Apple are gonna do this coverup ripoff screwover they better get thier stories synched with AT&T, embarassing.

It's so bad that Apple stock has been diving downwards for the second week in row, and it took a big plunge today agaian and people are loosing millions on Apple stock.

It went up a fraction of a point when the update was released, but i also wrote yesterday to wait until people have updated and see that they are being screwed again, then Apple stock will fall again.

Bottom line, a company the size of Apple does not go down like a broken submarine in the stockmarket if only 0.55% are affected!? Anyone one with common sense can smell bulls*it from a mile away, the question is, can you?

        Apple are to make airplanes next, they wont have enough fuel in the tanks to get people to their destination, what they will do is fill the tanks to 20% and then just alter the fuel gauges to read full, in the world of Apple, this will mean the plane will reach is destination with enough fuel.

            toshex, 17 Jul 2010actually Android beats all other OS' Symbian at the mome... moreHmm..not so sur e..

            AndroidOS is a ne w os in this year and SymbianOS is also a operato r system growth n growth in years ago..

            Android is good but for me it is made out to beating i0s..lol

            But now I can see is appl e i0s is not such a good operator system in nowaday..this time..for NO REAL MULTITASKING,NO BLUETOOTH TRANSFERING,NOT OPEN SOURCE..again appl e doing nothing in time..as a business man,appl e iphone even n0w the iphone 4 definetly cant helping me in my job..working days,you want fun apps juz get an ipod..

            Android can beat the appl e i0s juz because Android is opened source to everyon e..again the function..

            Now we dont talk about the icrap..juz see the SymbianOS,Maemo,Windows..
            I dont think so if you said the Android beat all other os..juz because every os has thei r own features and unique..
            SymbianOS is full of powerful and easy to use..user friendly..NOKIA Maemo is a newest OS in this year too but ¡ts really a GREAT OS with computer system s..But now I oso waiting the Meego and Windows7..

            If you really wann a said the difference between the SymbianOS with other OS..I juz can say the SymbianUI is a bit bored..I means the OS UI may b can bring da feeling of bad or good to users experience sometimes..

              Anonymous, 17 Jul 2010Wow, 223 comments so far.  Mostly bad comments from no... moreIf Apple can treat customers with such a disrespect and blame them initially for holding the phone wrong, then how many other companies will produce sub standard products then blame everyone else.

              It's not just about iphone problems but because it is such a high profile product and company THIS is why people are commenting on it.

              Look at Toyota with their problems, a basis of so many joke and jibes about them.

              Wake up and think how Apple have treated customers and stop just thinking that it's just iphone haters, after all it was iphone users who were noticing the problems.

                          iphonefan, 17 Jul 2010I have to go to mac rumors and feel nice support. Dude I'm not trying to make u feel bad, just showing u the facts, u have a right to know about them. Mac forums all use macs so nobody will tell u anything. That's human nature my friend, if u like somthing ur just blinded from wats around u and u won't give bad or problems about it as u will get used to them. Cheer up mate, its just a device, I'm with u that the user interface is nice and the sharp display is clear, but its just for the eys to see not for functionality mate.

                          Anyways its ur choice, and u get watever u like dnt let anyone stop u :p just research and think about it.

                                  iphone owners should just buy their phones and keep quiet. Everyone who is whining is spoiled and has no use in society except to whine. Just keep quiet and enjoy your phone. Majority of iphone buyers bought the phone FULLY AWARE of the issue anyway. So stop your fricking whining. Have some dignity..
