Apple press conference
 

I didnt think it was gonna happen, but im thinking this is leading to a free bumper situation.

Jobs is blowing shit out of his mouth



10:21AM "This is not a large number. This doesn't jibe with what you read. Let's keep going. So smartphones have weaknesses, and AppleCare data shows only 0.55% have called in about reception issues. The third, return rates... AT&T has a 'buyer's remorse' clause, you can return a phone no questions asked. Apple has the same thing. So what are our return rates? Well we're going to compare it to the iPhone 3GS..."

The return data is bs to me. just because people arent returning the phone doesnt mean people arent unhappy with it. They just are hoping that the phone will be fixed soon

juicyyyyyyyy.... how do you like yours?

"Even though we think the iPhone 4 is superior to the 3GS antenna... it drops more calls per 100 than the 3GS. We're being transparent. So how many more does it drop than the 3GS? This is hard data... the iPhone 4 drops less than one additional call per 100 than the 3GS. Less than one."

Yep, and evidently Steve wants them to now return it if they're not happy with it 100%. I say take the advice, lmfao.

the proximity sensor it a bitch , get dropped calls also , but the phone is so BEAUTIFUL loll

free bumper!!

"We think this has been so blown out of proportion... it's fun to have a story, but it's not fun on the other side. So here's what we're going to do to make our users happy. The first part is the software update, that fixes the way the bars report and other bugs, that's out now. Second, people said the bumper fixes everything... 'why don't you give everybody a case'? Okay -- we'll give you a free case."

And if you already bought a bumper you get a refund for it....

proximity sensor fix is in the next update

Man, my friends who have the new iphone are so fucking defensive about it.

I don't understand being so in love with a manufacturer that you live in denial about the product quality. Apple brand loyalty is so off the charts. You are not your phone!

Oh, and they just said on CNN there WILL be free bumpers, so woot for you guys!

Where is the link?

I think apple makes a great product and i dont have have an iPhone, but im assuming if there is a problem, Apple will fix it. The always do and as a result, they get that many more "fanboys".

SONY people were like this in the 80's. If you didnt have a SONY walkman, you had a piece of shit wannabe. It's true, ask your parents lol.

10:44AM Q: Were you told about the design before the phone was released?
Steve: Are you talking about the Bloomberg article? That's a crock, and we've challenged them to show proof that that. If anyone had said this thing has problems, we would have dispatched people to deal with that issue.

Megahurtz myth!

If he knew about the problem beforehand as he indicated in the press conference why not include a bumper or other solution to begin with. He makes it sound as though they are including the bumper only because the customer wants it not because it is needed.

I have one, I have the rubber case for it, I've dropped the phone a few times, but never dropped calls. Maybe It just a myth everyone is buying into all for a free case.

Everyone I know who has one, including me, is perfectly happy with it.

The fanboys on the mac board Im on, are holding on to that like its gospel. Its like just because he said a bunch of numbers doesnt mean its real. Also returning a phone isnt like returning a sweater its a royal pain in the ass. The best is watching them trash consumer reports possible the most unbiased publication in the usa. lol

lets FACETIME let me get oiled up first

What kind of oil? That will make it or break the deal. :1orglaugh
