A surprise from Apple announced today that they will hold an extraordinary brief to journalists and some users in particular to address the concerns over the iPhone 4 antennae problems.
The phone was only launched last month, in June 2010, and some users had complained of poor reception problems. When asked by media reporters if the briefing will address the prime concerns the company could neither confirm one way or another.
The way the company have handled the issue so far has displeased many a user critics alike. A strategic communications company has already stated that Apple’s reputation as rock solid company is under threat following the way it had handled the crisis. It has been suggested that twitter and facebook comments could be blown out to unveil a wider issue of discontent.
Users, some of whom queued long into the night on June 24, 2010 to grab the first day release of the iPhone 4 have complained that calls are dropping out after a few minutes and often they cut out altogether when gripping too tightly around the left hand side of the model. In fact Apple have been accused in some quarters of blaming users for getting ’all worked up over nothing’ and ‘ just a few days of rumours’ and that bloggers at Apple should just ’Calm Down!’. Now, the authenticity of those terse comments have been verified but nonetheless Apple should have ’step up to the plate and faced the problem head on..’ says Rob (from EnderleGroup).
Apple did announce on July 2 that it was surprised and suggested it was the signal bars display that was the issue and that the signal itself was not the problem.
Now, a recall is not financially the way forward at a cost of over a billion dollars. If they were to issue rubber bumpers (for gratis of course) it would cost far less at around 0m.
The demand for iPhones however remains strong and this issue has not impacted on sales. Indeed, Apple are struggling to supply in the face of demand as there is a shortage of the screen fronts currently.
