iPhone 4 problems Apple press conference tomorrow

If I was apple I'd acknowledge the problem, offer everyone teither a free bumper and extend the no qns asked return policy for an additional month.

Then I'd thank Consumer Reports for still ranking them as their number one smart phone despite the antenna faults. :)
 
C'mon guys!

Who cares if you don't get good signal when you hold your phone a certain way... just don't hold it THAT way... hold it a little... well... the other ways!

A small price to pay for such a fantastic fashion accessory that does almost everything other phones do and looks a little shinier while doing it!
Everyone knows that as soon as you whip out your iPhone, people know exactly what kind of person you are!

Well done Steve on another fantastic product we never knew we could easily live without!

Yay for Apple! Yay for King Steve!
 
OS 4.0.1 might also be announced, could fix the issue.... will see. interesting.
 
So they are going to hack the phone to show 1 bar instead of 3....just recall and fix it properly!
Once you've played with an android the apple looks very aged...and the top android is like R2000 cheaper...

LOL

An android fanboy posting in an iPhone thread? never....
if apple releases a hack it will be tested by users and reviewers, Apple can't get away with a hack, it will either be a fix or not... we will see.
4.0.1 for the 4G is not only an OS update but a baseband update which is hardware specific.

I wish I could get Android on an iPhone 4 - that would be pretty nice. Let's face it, Apple's hardware looks awesome and it pretty much does everything you need.
 
I had considered moving to an iPhone when I upgrade later this year... but not now.

Will def. be an Android phone for now.

Sheesh. That's a bit of overkill. :P
 
I wonder if there will be a live blog with this press conference.

If so, it should be around 19h00 local time.

Dear Mr. Jobs,
I write to express concern regarding the reception problem with the Apple iPhone 4. While I commend Apple’s innovative approach to mobile technology and appreciate its service to millions of iPhone users nationwide, I believe it is incumbent upon Apple to address this flaw in a transparent manner. According to Consumer Reports’ review, released Monday on its website, the iPhone 4’s signal-strength problem is a hardwire glitch triggered by gripping the device in a particular manner. This finding, according to Consumer Reports, “call into question” Apple’s recent claim that the problem is “largely an optical illusion caused by faulty software.” Consumer Reports declined to recommend the iPhone 4 because of this hardware design flaw.
Given the discrepancy between Consumer Reports’ explanation of the reception problem and the explanation provided by Apple in its July 2 letter to customers, I am concerned that the nearly two million purchasers of the iPhone 4 may not have complete information about the quality of the product they have purchased. The burden for consumers caused by this glitch, combined with the confusion over its cause and how it will be fixed, has the potential to undermine the many benefits of this innovative device. To address this concern, I ask that Apple provide iPhone 4 customers with a clearly written explanation of the cause of the reception problem and make a public commitment to remedy it free-of-charge. The solutions offered to date by Apple for dealing with the so-called “death grip” malfunction-such as holding the device differently, or buying a cover for it-seem to be insufficient. These proposed solutions would unfairly place the burden on consumers for resolving a problem they were not aware of when they purchased their phones.
I also encourage Apple to keep its promise to provide free software updates so that bars displayed accurately reflect signal strength; I further urge Apple to issue a written explanation of the formula it uses to calculate bar strength, so that consumers can once again trust the product that they have invested in.
I look forward to Apple’s swift action on this matter, and once again laud Apple for its innovative efforts and service to millions of Americans.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Schumer

(New York Senator)

Everyone knows that anyone who would judge the character of a person based on their choice of smartphone is a douchebnozzle.

Android is pretty cool for sure, unfortunately in SA at least, choosing Android means you are locked into HTC hardware... that kinda sucks.
