Does saying sorry and giving away millions of free bumper cases make up for a lack of signal?

It's called antenna attenuation, and it happens to every single phone if you grab it in a certain way. If you don't think that's the case, then go look at the Apple study with videos showing each of the top smart phone's similar problem.

If you got a problem with the iPhone 4, return it. No one's forcing you to spend the money. But you know you wont. You going to also blame the iPhone for not working in an elevator AKA a Faraday Cage. Yeah I guess we should blame Apple for not being able to violate the laws of physics as well.

    All they had to do was move the antenna to the top of the phone where you are unlikely to be gripping it. That was too hard for them though. Apple "thinks differently"....

    Did you even watch the video? The last time I checked holding a phone in your hand does not create a faraday cage. Unless you have gigantic metal robot hands, then yes, it might create a faraday cage. But if you're a robot you could just use your working antenna to make calls, no?

    I really wonder how Apple, in all their so called thorough testing, didn't notice before shipping out all these phones that holding it in it's most common grip causing the signal to drop to the point where the call gets dropped. You would think after making one single phone call for longer than 20 seconds, that they would think to themselves "Wow, my shit's busted" better go fix this obvious problem...

Many Apple metrosexuals believe that Apple’s cutting edge technology made by sub-standard Chinese motherboard manufacturer Foxconn is infallible. The number of recent suicides at Foxconn would indicate otherwise. It is believed that once workers found out that somewhere, sometime, someone will drop a call while on the way to Starbucks they were unable to go on living. The “snoozemedia” incorrectly reports the suicides have something to do with working twelve hours a day and living like a slave in the Foxconn compound. The truth is the iphone deathgrip not only causes dropped calls, but suicide.

Apple claims to have done extensive testing on the new iphone 4. In fact here is something Steve Jobs might have said from that article I didn’t read, “We thoroughly tested our customer’s stupidity by marketing the ipad. We figured that after we sold a million of those our metros would buy any piece of crap we made.” Jobs went on to defend the iphones’ inability to make phone calls while being held by probably saying, “Our research shows that most of our customers are gripping the iphone improperly. There is too much of a snuggle and that is interfering with the reception.”

Did Apple do the right thing by offer a free “bumper case” to customers? To answer that question I would have to know what a bumper case is- which I don’t. So I’m going to go with no. A phone that doesn’t make calls is defective. It would be like a laptop computer with no keyboard, no flash support, no multi-tasking, no usb, no webcam, can’t maintain wifi connection, and has a shitty name like ipad. The “f” in iphone stands for FAIL.

     Apple has received millions of complaints about the new iphone in recent weeks. The biggest hit to the company’s reputation came when Consumer Reports did not recommend the phone and suggested putting a piece of duct tape on the elegant device to make it work. While not specifically mentioned in any Consumer Reports literature it is presumed that MacGyver came up with the solution.


     The maker of the world’s most popular phone apparently “just plumb forgot” to check if their latest flagship product could actually make phone calls. Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs was “deeply sorry” if any customer was affected by the problem. Apple was so sorry that at first they denied there was a problem hoping that the power of positive thinking would improve signal strength. After no noticeable signal strength gains Apple decided to give away free bumper cases. The bumper case is reported to eliminate signal strength issues. Apple has even gone so far as to offer refunds to those that already purchased cases.
