Steve Jobs - Apple to give iPhone buyers free cases.

Okay, it's official Steve jobs says Apple will give iPhone 4 owners are having reception problems with their iPhone a free bumper case. After months and months of people complaining about the poor reception problems and Apple along with Steve Jobs trying to convince people that the problem is that it you don't know hold a phone, the fix is free bumper case.

Apple could have stopped all these months of bad publicity for the iPhone for my just offering free bumper cases from the start, rather than trying to find any other excuse possible for the bad iPhone reception problem. It seems as if the most loyal Apple product consumers that waiting in line to be the first to buy an iPhone usually end up with a beta product that needs fixing, and in the end if you had just had waited six months to buy your iPhone you would have gotten a product that works better than the first release of the iPhone.

"Apple says it will give free protective cases to buyers of its latest iPhone model to alleviate the so-called "death grip" problem: holding the phone with a bare hand can muffle the wireless signal.

Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs announced the giveaway Friday at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. Those who have already bought the phone and new buyers will all be eligible.

The iPhone 4 has been dogged by complaints about the antenna problem since it went on sale in the U.S. three weeks ago. On Monday, Consumer Reports said careful testing had confirmed the issue. The magazine refused to recommend the phone and called on Apple to compensate buyers."
