Dieter Bohn, Smartphone Experts:
Although Steve Jobs made the kinds of “we love our users” points that you’d expect him to make, I was actually gratified to hear them – because they were combined with an honest admission that the iPhone 4 drops marginally more calls than it ought and that there is a “weak spot.”
Leanna Lofte, TiPb:
The problem with the iPhone 4, is that there is a visible line on the device that initiates the reception failure. This makes it psychologically seem like a bigger deal when compared to other phones.
Jerry Hildenbrand, Android Central:
… ignoring the questions about the antenna design, or deflecting them by showing “bars” from other manufacturers isn’t the response I had hoped for from someone who holds the trust of millions.
Ally Kazmucha, TiPb:
Free bumpers will not appease everyone, but as El Jobso stated, if you aren’t happy with your purchase, bring them back for a full refund.
Malatesta, WMExperts:
If you’re going to put all of your eggs into one basket, you better make sure that basket is 100% perfect or nearly so. Kudos to Apple for giving away those free cases, but we think that this problem should have never had happened in the first place.
Phil Nickinson, Andriod Central:
“Yeah, we may have a problem, but check out these guys!” There is a larger problem, and that is that everybody — all of us — are trying to become amateur RF engineers. We’re not. We’re not going to be.
Bla1ze, CrackBerry:
I’m still not convinced the issue with the iPhone 4 is as big of an issue as some media outlets are portraying it to be. But, to say that the issue does not exist entirely is a farce.
Rene Ritchie, TiPb:
This was a no win situation for Apple … As to the free bumpers, at first the bribery seems to conflict with the deflection. If there’s no problem, why give bumpers? Simple. People like free stuff.
The entire article is worth a read, but I thought it was appropriate to share the bits I felt were pertinent to the situation.
