Apple offers free iPhone4 cases

Apple is offering a free case to every owner of its iPhone4.

Apple boss Steve Jobs unveiled the offer at a press conference called to tackle the ongoing speculation about the iPhone4's antenna problem.

The case will help overcome a widely reported issue in which phone signal strength was drained when the phone was held a certain way.

Declaring "We're not perfect", Mr Jobs said reception problems were endemic throughout the smartphone industry

There's nothing wrong with the iPhone 4 that isn't wrong with any other phone, says Steve Jobs. However, because Jobs and company "love our users," Apple will provide a free case to any Judas Phone owner who wants one.

Just keep in mind that if you think that there's anything wrong with your iPhone 4, it's the media's fault.

In fact, according to Jobs, nothing is Apple's fault. Cell phone reception problems? All phones have them, Jobs said. And to prove his point, Jobs showed videos of the reception bars of a BlackBerry Bold 9700, HTC Droid Eris, and Samsung Omnia II disappearing when held in the infamous Death Grip.

Jobs went to great lengths to prove that if the iPhone 4 has any reception problems, they're simply those that affect all phones. "Most smartphones behave exactly the same way," Jobs said. "This is life in the smartphone world: phones aren't perfect. It is a challenge for the phone industry, and we are all doing the best that we can." /edit: TRY HARDER

But Jobs has a theory as to why the Judas Phone holds that edge. "When the 3GS came out," he said, "we didn't change the design from the 3G. So there were already lots of cases out there for the phone. And more than 80 per cent of new buyers left the store with a case. Now the new phone doesn't fit those cases, and we can't make these bumpers fast enough, so only 20 per cent leave the store with a case."

E sada, ako Ivan misli da je reklama "the holy truth", onda si se zaj.

Crkla antena, i pompezne dr*adzije se zeznule - to je sasvim newsworthy.
