Apple Offers Free Cases to Address iPhone Issue

Steven P. Jobs, chief executive of Apple, acknowledged Friday that the company’s iPhone 4 had some problems with its antenna but said the same problems affected all smartphones and had been widely exaggerated by the media.

Senh: I like Steve Jobs, but I'm not sure if this is gonna do it. Will these bumper cases help with the reception problems? It's turning into a he-said/she-said type of thing.

Meanwhile, the Droid X is sold out.

They're having a press conference, so maybe they'll finally admit the truth. This phone is just cursed. First, there were all those leaks, and now this. Google must be smiling.

AppleCare: iPhone 4 Update Won't Solve the Antenna Problem

AppleCare has confirmed what we already knew: The incoming software update won't fix the iPhone 4's transmission and reception problems. They acknowledged the antenna problem exists, offering the same solution as before: Buy a case or hold the iPhone differently.

Apple waives iPhone 4 restocking fee
