iPhone 4G?

1:31 Since Jobs maintains that Apple can't make bumpers faster enough, its teaming with third parties to outsource other cases and will give users a choice of case. Friday July 16, 2010 1:31 

1:32 iPhone 4 owners can register for the offer on Apple.com starting next week. And if customers are still not happy, they can return their undamaged iPhone within 30 days for a full refund, with the restocking fee waived. Friday July 16, 2010 1:32

That's it, free bumpers. No hardware fix.

1:33 iPhone 4's have also exhibited issues with the proximity sensor behaving out of wack, so Apple's been tracking this problem as well and is currently working on a solution which it hopes to deliver in the next iOS 4 software update. Friday July 16, 2010 1:33  

1:34 Meanwhile, the company is pushing forward with its international rollout of the handset and will be launching the iPhone in 17 more countries on July 17th -- the same 17 it promised previously with the exception of South Korea. Friday July 16, 2010 1:34

Well, unless he is lying, they haven't gotten that many complaints about the iPhone.  So I guess I can understand their not seeing this as a major issue. 

Ah well.  I'm done emoing over it.  I still have some time before I have to decide on the iPhone or not.

Market looks awful today, not good...

Hm they were just saying on twitLive that the market was reacting favourably.

Apple stock is a little up. it's the overall market which is having a bad day.

Anyways, looks like we get them up here at the end of the month and per my contract the wife and I can upgrade in September. We'll see how things shake out by then. Steve mentioned in the QA section that they free bumper deal lasts until end of Sept. At that point they will reevaluate.

About the response I expected.  It's good they are doing something, but I have feeling this isn't over.  The biggest problem down the road I see for them is when the eventual new version of the iPhone arrives and the antenna issue is really fixed.  I wonder what people might do or say then?

The bumper didn't work for me. I returned it. No clue why but it didn't. So, not sure what I want to do at this point now. Oh well...life goes on. Steve Jobs did do a good job of redirecting, gotta give him that. I'm still an Apple fan, still like the iPhone 4. Perhaps with the new iOS it'll improve a bit. No clue. Rock on!

[Rico]

Again, it depends on signal strength in your area and keeping you hand far enough away from the phone's antenna area so you don't block the signal.  A bumper might not be enough for some.  Others have reported similar troubles.

I'm just waiting for the badge communicator with the A on it! For AL! :)

Now these guys who came up with the idea of selling these have the right idea.  :)

Haha, that's awesome. Also if it works it's actually somewhat unoffensive, especially the gray one.

[Bryancd]

LOL! That's great. :)
