Harry I haven't had any problems with reception so far with my new iPhone4, it works just fine

Daffy Duck, yes I am with AT&T so it looks like the phone could be a little expensive to run in Thailand. I think I'll opt to take my old phone as it is unlocked and I won't have to worry if I lose it. I won't be able to watch any porn without the iPhone while on holiday but from what I hear I think I'll be closer to the real thing

It's clear there are people that don't have a problem. It's also clear there's an awful lot that do.

I guess you're in the former.

Yes, indeed - except it's 20 pages:

Be sure that 'data roaming' is turned off, and that you switch iPhone 4 to 'airplane mode', and then manually turn on WiFi. That way you make sure to stay off any problems.

-----------------------
The Wall Street Journal said that Apple's bid to preserve the phone's secrecy ahead of the launch meant that the phones were only tested in "stealth mode" in bodies that disguise the phone's real look. The tests were also carried out in a way that prevented the phones being held, the report said.//DPA

None of that matters any more. (Kind like the reporter that asked Steve to show the signal problem on his Blackberry Bold. "It doesn't happen everywhere" was the lame-arsed answer).

What matters is when Daffy is going to answer my question.

Will Apple, by September 30th, announce a re-engineered iphone 4 that fixes this problem?

Come on Daffy? What's so difficult?

Jobs got your tongue?

Let's face it, all the fanbois were looking forward to showing off their new iPhones, and now if they do it, they face ridicule.

How would you feel?

Let's try another one, I'm sure Daffy is reading even if he is in hiding.


I'm satisfied 40% (17,762 votes)
I'm unsure 13% (5,523 votes)
I'm unsatisfied 47% (20,599 votes)
Total Votes: 43,884

And the original CNET Poll:

* Yes, I'll happily take my free bumper 37%
* No, and I'm considering returning my phone 29%
* No, but I'll keep my phone anyway 14%
* I never had a problem in the first place 20%
* Total votes: 14409


Way to go, Stevie boy!

Just to help HarryBarracude implode, and most of all, to push him onwards to wasting more of his time on this:

Oh, and as for your dumb September questions:

Apple shipping redesigned iPhone in October? | 9 to 5 Mac

Let's see - what usually happens in late September? The iPod line usually gets revised, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the iPod Touch will receive the iPhone 4 treatment (FaceTime cameras, new design) and that some of that engineering will/may trickle down into the iPhone 4 design, by then. The 3GS has gone through several component and internal design changes over the course of its lifecycle, so seeing the same happen with iPhone 4 isn't news.

What will be of interest will be to see *if* such a redesign happens (which is not unlikely), how Apple will treat the existing installed base - my guess is, nothing will change, as by then at least one additional firmware will be released, iOS 4.1, which gives Apple plenty of leeway for additional tweaks. We'll see.

In the meantime, iPhone 4 will just keep selling - with a 3 week waiting list, and iPhones selling as fast as they can be shipped, the consumers seem to be smarter than haters who've never used one.

Who's really hurt by Antenna-Gate?

The iPhone 4 case industry, and most likely those consumers who want different cases.

How Apple's free bumpers affect the case industry | 9 to 5 Mac

Hard to compete with 'Free' - which is probably also the other reason why Apple added a cap of September 30th to the free bumpers offer - plus, the industry will most likely recover by them, selling cases for the redesigned iPod Touch.

That sounds like they are going to make an effort to change the design by October to us. It might be subtle - something as small as a non-conductive acrylic laminant over the 'spot' but it seems Apple is working on something and for whatever reason, they've given themselves a September 30th deadline.

I'm not sure quite why you posted this - I already told you that's what they're doing - but I think the phrase is "No shit, sherlock".

The 3GS has gone through several component and internal design changes over the course of its lifecycle, so seeing the same happen with iPhone 4 isn't news.

Man, you really are in denial. So the engineers parked at the office under orders to fix the fuck up are actually doing "component and internal design changes over the course of its lifecycle"?

My stomach hurts from laughing.

Are Apple an offshoot of Scientology or something? Do you really believe this shit?

Because you asked me what I thought about, dumbass, so I gave you the answer you have been repeatedly clamoring for.

Thanks for confirming to me to just continue to avoid addressing you, then, in the future. Now, fuck off.

No Daffy, I asked you for your OPINION.

Instead of which you waited for some blog to give an answer you think you can defend, then post it.

NOT the same.

I said when I was commenting DURING the press conference that he was going to demand it was fixed by the end of September.

Let me remind you:

He keeps saying "we are working our asses off" but he still won't say "to fix the problem".

Quote:
Q: After September 30th, is it because after then you expect people to buy a free case?
Steve: It’s so we can reevaluate this in September, I have no idea what solutions may come up.
(Read: I have no idea how we are going to fix the design flaw, but I've given them until September 30th to do it).

So basically Daffy, it would seem I know more about Steve Jobs and Apple than you do.

It took you four days and someone else's words to form an opinion of your own.

By the way, Apple haven't decided "for some reason", Steve Jobs has decided because he's mortally fucking embarrassed.

Let's make no mistake here by the way: By being pig-headed about it, Stevie boy has opened himself to abuse come September.

He may try and palm the "fix" off as a new and improved model, but all existing customers, who have stuck with him and his stupid bumper, are going to be wondering why he won't swap their defective ones for a new one.

So we may still see a recall after all, albeit cunningly disguised as Stevie boy doing his customers a favour.

After all, he "lurvs" them all so much.

*gag* *puke*

Well, in that case, fuck off - no one gives a shit what an asshole like you really thinks.

Oh dear. You have absolutely nothing to offer do you?

Everything you've come out with on the subject of the iPhone 4 has been fanboi bollocks, and it's all been shot to pieces.

Never mind. There's always the iPhone 4a, coming to a shop near you in October.

heh he flounced

Well i guess he's given up. What's the point arguing with 2 trolls anyway. Any sane person has long since logged out of this thread.

Many pages ago i posted the info from the press conference, which pretty much answered all the questions.

However, no troll will get facts in the way of a good rant. Or 100 good rants, for that matter. So trolls, rant on. No one cares. Antennagate doesn't exist anymore.

Actions speak louder than words, as in iphone 4 completely sold out world wide, selling as many as they can make, and a 1% return rate. The most successful product launch in Apple history.

There cannot be any arguments. Unless you're out to troll.... There, have a herring.
