It seems that Apple has unilaterally declared Antennagate to be over, and has announced that it will stop sending out free iPhone 4 bumper cases from September 30 – although the program isn’t being halted altogether.
We can only admire the kind of opportunism that has seen these quick-of-the-mark entrepreneurs offering Antenn-aid, a sticking plaster to solve the much publicised antenna problems that have plagued the iPhone 4.
We have to say we weren’t too impressed by Apple dragging other handset manufacturers into their press conference yesterday – the issue was about the iPhone 4 dropping calls, not the performance of their competitors’ phones – and both Nokia and RIM have responded angrily.
Apple iPhone 3G, 3GS and iPhone 4 users should prepare their handsets for incoming as Apple have just unleashed the iOS 4.0.1 software update.
Apple have announced that they will be holding a press conference this Friday, June 16th, at 10AM Pacific Time, and are expected to be finally addressing the iPhone 4 dodgy antenna issue.
Ever since it was discovered that holding an iPhone 4 in a certain way can result in a loss of signal (and sometimes dropped calls ), a major PR disaster for Apple has been brewing.
