Please say this is a fake response from Apple about this issue:

Looks like Apple can't engineer anything.

first off not an apple fan boy. second every single phone i have owned has had all types of stupid problems. third i would buy a case anyway iphone or not. finally silly mistake apple

Just out of curiosity, why don't companies use retractable antennas - like the old nokia's, qualcomm's, etc?

I'm sure they could make one flush that retracts inside the case.

Oh my god, I laughed so hard.

30 bucks? What the hell? Are you kidding me!?

I watched that whole vid w/ the vuvuzela's 😀

How is it that Apple has the audacity to actually charge its customers for a "solution" which they created by flawed design and impromper QA testing? Or, they have the stats showing that the sheep will actually buy it and so it's a win-win somehow? Can you imagine Samsung, or Palm (err...HP?), or HTC suggesting that one of their design flaws is fixable if only the customer buys a rubber band for $30? I mean it even sounds funny....and yet Apple does it. You're a first rate douche if you actually buy it! I'd be returning that phone pronto!

iPhone 4 in Jobs's words is "magical".So it is supposed to float magically in the air while the customer uses it with his Harry Potter knowledge, as he cannot touch it, for it wouldn't work when touched.

Top fun of the year brain wash trick on silly foolish rotten apple too fast moving apple adopters. I propose we send a rubber cover for SJ's panties.

 

[pug_s]

Pssh, I am willing to bet that within 2 weeks, Apple will be giving out 'free' rubber band protectors, which will also fix the iphone reception issue.

My precious "android" doesn't have the same issue... it's an os stupid... you can see that its only tied to hardware if you look further into your link the g1 and the mytouch 3g are fine.

 

[anamaniac]

I actually liked that design feature.
Why didn't it just come with a clear coat on it though?

 

[walt526]

I swear, if Jobs wrote an email telling the person that the only way to properly hold the iPhone was to shove it up their ass, within 20 minutes Apple fanboys across the country would be lining up by the hundreds to buy some KY.

rather than paying 30$ for the rubber band, here's a cheaper solution : http://www.google.com/products?q=rubber+gloves

[citation][nom]Smochina[/nom]Oh right sorry, I meant Android phones, Android is just a stupid OS that runs java apps in 2010, LOL.[/citation]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

IpHonee FAIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now go buy those rubber things you apple cultists...

 

[frost7500]

Ok. I sure do like my iPhone 3G but I can't stop laughing. That is a monumental mistake and yes of course they knew about it. Recall it Apple or at the VERY least offer the rubber case for free. Good GOD. Hmm, changed my mind. RECALL NOW.
