After a presentation saying the iPhone 4's reception problems have been "blown way out of proportion," Apple CEO Steve Jobs said Friday that all owners will receive free cases to fix the issue.

People who already paid for a case, which reduces interference, will get a refund, Jobs said.

"We're not perfect; phones aren't perfect," Jobs said. "We want to make all our users happy."

To me this is pretty big.

They are also giving full refunds to iPhone 4 customers.

Pretty nice of them, but I wonder if the consumer has a choice in colour since not everyone wants a black or white case.

It's a free case. I'd take one regardless.

this free case is given because of some reports about iphones that they loose signals when user holds them at certain point which covers the signal receiver.

How are they going to distrube cases to everybody that owns one?

 

[Ashish92]

they are not going to distribute it, the owners will have to collect it and it will be issued on their name and the on the receipt of phone so no one can get double cases that way.

I have got the iPhone 4 and I will definitely be getting the case even though the antenna problems are not causing me too much problems its better to have it sorted. Kind gesture by them though. 😀
