Let’s go back and reiterate that Apple is a multi-billion dollar company, and a company can only become that big by having a reputation for high quality products, which means that since Apple sold 1.7 million units in the first week and local Apple Stores can’t keep them in stock, the pros of the phone are out weighing the cons. Let’s be honest; the iPhone 4 is a fantastic upgrade to a phenomenal 3G S. It’s a simple equation:

pros > cons = happy people’s wallets > angry people’s criticsim

So Why make announcements, recall the phones, and give away  free bumper cases for? They shouldn’t and they won’t. If they do that, then they are blemishing their reputation that we established in earlier. They want the attention; they want the bad press; therefore, people like yourself will research all about the iPhone 4 and learn all the pros and just say ‘I would get it, but it has one problem’, and then Apple will come out of no where and fixes the problem and sell a million more iPhone 4s. So instead of filing lawsuits let’s understand that you bought a high quality product that is top in the market.

There has been several videos, blogs, and  concerned emails sent to Steve Jobs and Apple Inc., but is the consumer’s voice really heard? A few days after the iPhone4 was officially released, a concerned customer was asking Steve Jobs if there was any future plans for Apple to fix these reception problems. Jobs replied back with, “Just avoid holding it that way”. What way? How are you supposed to hold the phone? One dead giveaway that the iPhone 4 had reception problems during testing was the available “Bumper Case” that Apple was selling at the launch of the phone.

I truly believe that Apple knew about these previous issue and wanted to provide a quality case to avoid these issues from customers. The case is stylish, but is not the true reason behind it. There has been leaked Apple care documents explaining to the staff how to “deal” with customers when asking/confronting you about the iPhone4 reception problems. You can see this below:

As well as reception problems accruing at opening day, their were several ticked-off customers when Apple did not release the iPhone 4 in white, Black ONLY. Apple states that the new iPhone 4, in white, will be re-released in mid-July. No exact date. After researching several blogs, websites, videos, and emails, Apple has released a statement that the iPhone4 reception problems are not the antenna, but the software. Supposedly, Apple has slipped up on the reception “bars” ever since the 1st gen iPhone. Apple says they are in the process of fixing the bug and will re-realeas the latest iPhone software with the new, and improved, software to increase call quality and overall better reception. We will see…

I hope you have enjoyed this blog over the reception issues/White iPhone4. Feel free to comment below with your take on what Apple is doing or needs to do…Hopefully they will listen to thier customers…
