Apple is just concluding its rarer press conference at company headquarters. Here is an excerpt from a CNN article:" 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." The iPhone 4 broke Apple sales records after its release on June 24, drawing positive reviews from tech bloggers and almost religious fervor from Apple fanatics who lined up for hours to get their hands on one. The smartphone has sold more than 3 million units, Jobs said Friday, and has been the most successful product launch in Apple history. He maintained that, despite the reception issue, the phone remains "our best product ever."
"It's not like Apple has had its head in the sand on this," Jobs said. "It's only been 22 days." But just hours after its release, reports of a problem with reception began surfacing. Analysts found that holding a certain spot on the metal band around the edge if the phone leads to interference, causing weakened reception and, sometimes, dropped calls. The band houses the phone's antenna, part of a design that made the sleek iPhone 4 about 25 percent thinner than its predecessors. Visit Apple's press room for complete details.
