Wait, they still haven't dealt with the antenna problems?I don't think it's fixable. It seems to be a hardware issue. Having a case helps.

Last year, Ruben Caballero, an Apple senior engineer and antenna expert, warned Apple CEO Steve Jobs that issues with the phone's antenna could "lead to dropped calls," reports Bloomberg, citing a source "familiar with the matter."
According to Bloomberg's report, Caballero "informed Apple's management the device's design may cause reception problems, said the person, who is not authorized to speak on Apple's behalf and asked not to be identified. A carrier partner also raised concerns about the antenna before the device's June 24 release, according to another person familiar with the situation."

They have, by re-calculating the algorithm that generates the signal strength amount in the iPhone 4. Apparently everyone has just been having shitty reception but didn't know cause it was showing a good reception :teehee
Wilco is just hating because even with all this the iPhone 4 is still backordered everywhere.

That's for all iphones, not just the 4. Every iphone ever has had the broken signal reception function.
This is all pretty hilarious. but I'm hoping it ends up in the iPhone4S being the phone of the forever next year when my 3GS contract is up. The current iPhone 4 would probably be fine for me too, since I don't live in the boonies and have a good network here.
He just wasted 5 minutes of the 15 presentation trying to prove other phones have this problem instead of focusing on the solution. Good jon.::)
Seriously, this.
Is manabyte just quoting Steve Jobs :lol
It's like Christians and Jesus, or Manabyte and Mel Gibson
Where did you get that from?
This was probably the worst PR move I have seen from a tech company in a long time. Apple was facing criticism from the private sector and IT over how they were handling this issue; they done fucked up now. Way to ruin the goodwill built up over the last several years.
If a Bumper is necessary for your product to work, it should be included with all phones manufactured henceforth and free to anyone who buys a unit that did not include one. To give them out for free only until September 30th is pretty lame.
EDIT: You also don't blame everyone else for your design flaws. :lol

The fact that Apple just said they'll give everyone a free case through September, and the Bumper is the only thing that has been proven to fix the signal ???
Shipments two months from now, meaning phones that are produced in Taiwan as we speak, meaning a possible hardware fix (insulating the antenna is very easy/phone production lines are always suspect for small adjustments even mid-production cycle-- see HTC), is a more likely scenario than yours Federwang ::)
First of all, there are reports that the hardware fix is cheaper than $30 dollars, and it's being called a "quick brute force" solution. A more elegant fix is should be introduced with the CDMA model, or so the rumor goes.
Second of all, if they had mentioned it in the conference, THEN everyone would demand a recall because no one wants to own the defected model. As I said, small changes to hardware is very common, as I said sometimes its happens during a production cycle.
"Pipedream"? ::) Oh will, trying to pin the Apple fanboy label on me, are we?
Free bumpers for ALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!:lol :lol

The conference where they invited major tech bloggers and pundits? I sure do, these people are the ones who will go back and blog about this so called solution so the message will trickle down to the rest of people who caught wind of this in the first place and made all the fuss.
A total recall would cost Apple 1.5 billion dollars, you'd be stupid to think that they were going to announce it here, in front of this crowd that was responsible for the recent media shitstorm.

Without a doubt they're working to see if there's a cheap and easy hardware solution they can implement quickly to make this shitstorm go away.
Where did the reality distortion field joke come from anyways?
ZAGG, the creators of the invisiShield micro protective film (that I've been using ever since i bought my 3Gs) has announced that they're iPhone 4 version of the product will also coat the bezel thus solving the signal issue. :bow :bowWhat makes me nervous about using it is that it's permanent and any little fuck up is going to be there
I played with an iPhone 4 today. I shouldn't have. I knew my 3G was slow but I didn't know it was UGLY and slow. :'(

I had no idea that term orginated with Apple and Jobs, I always associated it with conservatives (Creationism, GW, etc.)

i hope they bleached in preparationApple users never bleach. By association with Jobs, lights shines out of our asses.
I'm sick of Apple's conferences, they have one like every fucking month.Nah it's fanboys that stretch it out with ceaseless anticipation and the 'post orgasm glow' hysterics.
