iPhone 4 is OUT!

[oceantoofar]

4. iPhone 4 Bumpers, Generations 0 and 2. To reduce the cost of the current iPhone 4 Case Program, the company is currently working on a less expensive all-silicone version of the Bumper to give away after September. Our source says that the original, unreleased version of Bumper had more hard plastic than the final version, and claims that Apple was considering giving Bumpers away with every iPhone 4 before deciding to take its chances with the bare device. The question is whether the Bumpers were originally intended for glass protection or antenna coverage, and why Apple developed them in the first place.

From the Apple SG site, it seems to me that only the first batch of iP 4 are affected by the antenna issue. Looks like those batches after Sept 30 will be resolved.

It looks to me that Apple is doing something to the phone internally to resolve the reception issue. Of course, they will not admit if asked, but looking at that line that says "To qualify for this program, you must purchase your iPhone 4 by September 30, 2010.", they are confident that their current stock will be depleted by 30 September, and new stocks with the correction (made internally) will not have this problem, thus it will be stupid of them to issue phone cases then.

Also, they rather issue out a bumper/case than recall their current stock, as this will help them reduce their cost, as they know from the initial release, a lot of Apple 'followers' will sure line up and buy their product no matter what defects it has. :bsmilie:

So will you still buy? :sweatsm:

i think the two are quite separated - even if you want to call regarding corporate account, they will tend to transfer you to the corporate department.

what's the feedback on the phone so far from those who have it? Any problem?

For me, nothing to complain, except that incoming voice is way too soft, even at maximum level. Anyone knows the solution?

Not sure it is because of the plastic cover covering the phone :think: But first, need to get a protection sheet before i can try again.

so far so good, no problem at all.

put in a new screen protector and now the voice is louder.

no death grip issues.

battery life is ok, even with heavy usage, i.e. perpetual surfing on and off and gaming for quite a while at dinnertime, lasted full day today before dying at 9 pm or so.

if it is the stock plastic cover, i had to peel it backwards to answer phone calls before i finally got a proper screen protector....

 

[xhui]

guys... please please peel the protective sheet off.. it is causing the soft voice la . Just cut a hole for it if you are waiting for your screen protector.

No signal drop even when i do a full grip on the left side. BUT with a clause that you are in an area with good reception in the first place. Signal drops a few bars with grip when you are in weak signal areas, aka basement of shopping centres, mrt etc. overall, absolutely loving it!
