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...

No phone is perfect, yes. But having to put a 'phone' into a case to keep the signal is not a weak point but a total disaster. Steve Jobs should shut his bad smelling mouth... or use one of those cases and put it on his mouth to act as a filter... It stinks!!!

    I wonder what other miscalculations under Apple's umbrella. even the iPad screen size also a miscalculation. i hope those Apple workers (aka slaves) knows their pay check every month is not miscalculation as well. A new Apple tagline = Apple is best at miscalculation, again.....lol

      as gsmarena so rightly point out its not 0.55% facing the issues its 100%,its a design fault so every model is the same and every model effected,every model needs a big bumper

                    IPHONEFAN, 17 Jul 2010People don’t really care because the phones are still selli... moreother phones have not been reported with the same problems,check gsms reviews,consumer reports,extensive tests,this is an fairly unique instance on an extremely expensive device hense the media interest and outrage. You sound like the very fanboy steve was targeting with 'its not us,we're not faulty,every other phone is' speech.
                    Steve Is greatful of your devotion tonight,remember there is now fault and 'apple loves you',feel good

                      0.55% of 3,000,000 users may have an issue,

                      Of those most would be holding it stupid or be no reception zones
                      anyway, so probably 0.02% could be almost real issues


                      Shame the lies were taken up by the media

                      iphone4 is the best, walking past this lie

                        A QUESTION! Why is every hater, the media, bloggers, gizmodos and the likes all ignoring the people who are not experiencing any problems? 0.55% out of over 3 million have made complaints about this signal issue, wouldn't the percentage be a lot more if this was a major problem? Again I say this is hardly a crisis.
                        The rate of complaints about the Nokia N97 was much much greater yet I never heard no one calling for the phone to be recalled.
                        The search for that Iphone killer has proved elusive so the only option that remains is to go all out and try to be the Iphone Killers yourselves by exaggerating the problems being experienced by a few users and spreading malicious rumours. Well! Good luck coz just like all the so called iphone killers that have been released but failed you all shall fail.

                          Consumer reports officially does not still recommend thew iphone 4

                          http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/mobile/07/16/consumer.reports.iphone.case/?fbid=w1OM6xt3hwM

                          The main two fundamental things people want in a phone above all else is a great battery and good reception. the iphone models could never offer the battery part,now it cant offer reception either. Charging huge sums more than competitors with out these two fundamentals and only having a slight better screen is in this day and age outrageous.

                          Its seems from the general response across the board this is one insult to far from apple

                            People don’t really care because the phones are still selling like hot cakes. Not only that, but other phones have the EXACT same problem. And it only affects less than one percent of all iPhone 4s anyway. Still, we love our customers so much we are giving them al free cases. Any questions?

                            Apple rock guys, vote high on the phone selection screen

                                    N8:

                                    -biggest camera (1/1.83") sensor size on mobile phones ever
                                    -720p video recording/playback via HDMI
                                    -Dolby Digital Plus via HDMI

                                    -video/photo editor
                                    -Flash Lite v4
                                    -FM transmitter
                                    -FM radio
                                    -fast 3D graphics accelerator

                                    That pretty impressive for a phone that is only 370 euros. And in fact the camera is so good (judging by the sample photos), that you really don't need a pocket digicam anymore. And they're still improving the thing!

                                        this is the result of short testing stage of the iphone4. they've just start shipping it after a few weeks from announcing it.. unlike nokia N8.. poor apple..
