Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Not to happy with the PRESS COFFERENCE!

So we are all getting free bumpers. Big deal, those bumper are ugly. One big reason to buy this phone is for the looks. The stainless steel on the side. And now we have to cover it all up with a plastic bumper to have the phone operate. That's like buying a Bently and putting hub caps over the wheels. And maybe even a foam cover over the steering wheel.

They should of had some kind of hardware fix.

Sorry I just had to vent.

I-Phone 4, iOS 4

Steve did not offer a fix because currently (22 days into it) Apple does not have a fix,.. he said the phone is not perfect, in other words its as good as its going to get for this years iP4,.. the flaw is probably not the antenna as such, but the position that they made the break in the antenna, basically where most of us hold it,.

So there you have it from a fanboy,... the iP4 is as it is, and as good as its going to get for this model,..
with a case / bumper its useable as a phone but its not great, on 1 bar you can make and hold calls, but the data speeds are severely compromised.

I shall make do and keep mine as its useable, but lets all remember this, the bumper helps but does not fix the flaw in iP4, so lets all stop kidding ourselves that it does, because deep down we all know that iP4 is not perfect and will probably stay flawed until iP5

Why say "without touching it" and then using the eject tool "to accelerate" the process? Why cover the screen with big large red blocks?

Putting all that (including your bad language) aside, you never lost bars in the connection. If your phone indeed drops calls while you are still connected to the network, it could be you have a faulty phone. Expend your energy in exchanging the phone rather than making questionable videos.

"I only use this eject tool to speed it up a little." Your words, not mine.

Man you Apple fanboys are unreal. Wish I'd never posted in this thread. Posted last night and when I opened up my email just now I found 45 reply received messages.

And don't bother telling me not to come back. I won't be - you bunch of Steve Jobs loving *****.

Your iphone 4's are all garbage by the way. Total junk 🙂
