Steve Jobs offers free cases, blasts media

SAN FRANCISCO - JUNE 19:  The new iPhone 3Gs i...
iPhone 4

In the hastily summoned press conference  on Friday Steve Jobs offered  no apologies for the iPhone 4’s reception issues and blamed the media for exaggerating , “blown so out of proportion, it’s incredible” he said. Jobs singled out reports from Bloomberg and Gizmodo ( Gizmodo bought an iPhone 4 which was lost by an Apple Engineer in a bar, and now faces legal troubles at Apple’s behest.).The only positive for the customers from the PR exericse to save face is this – Apple is offering a free case to every owner of its iPhone 4 and full refunds to anyone who’s not satisfied.

Not contend with accusing media of going too far,  Apple took a dig at its competitors, Steve Jobs claimed that  you can replicate the left-handed “death grip” bar-dropping problem on the BlackBerry Bold 9700, HTC Droid Eris, and Samsung Omnia II, and that “phones aren’t perfect”,  he also claims that only 0.55% of people who bought the iPhone 4 have called into AppleCare to complain about the antenna.

    Never mind about the arrogance of Apple in the IPhone case. I have had an ongoing without warning shut down problem with my iMac for THREE years and despite having been in the “genius bars” in Chatswood and Erina several times they refuse to replace !!! I am the only person ever to have had this problem by the way !!!! I dont think. They must be the only company in the technical world which does not provide direct access to Customer Service leaders via email? JA Terrigal NSW.
