Jan Zdarsa Journalists are getting invitations to a special press conference on Friday, which should only be about the iPhone 4. We don't think Apple plans to launch any new Apple products.
There is constant talk on the Internet that the iPhone 4 has serious antenna problem and a software patch won't fix it. How serious this problem is, or how serious a problem journalists (and then iPhone 4 owners or, in many cases, rather non-iPhone 4 owners) make it out to be, will probably be known this Friday.
I can only repeat what I heard from Czech iPhone 4 owners and some foreign journalists. The iPhone 4 has a much better signal than previous models, so even in areas where you previously had trouble calling, you can now call. And it does not only apply in the Czech Republic, where we have mobile networks of much better quality than in the USA with AT&T, but also with AT&T. For example, one editor wrote that when he got home, whether he had a Blackberry or previous iPhone models, he always dropped the call after parking. Now with iPhone 4, he can continue to make phone calls.
But the truth is that when you hold the iPhone 4 in a specific way, the signal deteriorates significantly even compared to previous models. However, this problem is experienced by a minority of people, most users try to replicate this problem by holding the phone in a convulsive manner.
Apple is already testing iOS 4.1, which should fix signal display on the phone and will likely try to minimize the impact of this hold. We are expecting the announcement of the release of the new version of iOS 4 at a special conference. Apple will probably also apologize for the problems and maybe announce the distribution of gift coupons or Bumper cases. Personally, I don't expect Apple to start recalling the iPhone 4 from the market, or the 2 million units that have been sold so far and should have a problem.
For the purpose of a special conference here at Jablíčkář.cz we will prepare for continuously updated article from 19:00 on Friday with events from the conference.
oops, I don't even look at what server I'm on!!! ugh, off :-D
I am sorry
Don't worry, you post the same thing every day, so I don't know what you're up to! If you weren't interested in the iPhone, then don't go into all the discussions about the iPhone and make yourself a jerk!!!
oops, Freud has risen……I guess I'll have to come here, otherwise you wouldn't be right, and a sheep wouldn't be able to stand that :-D
the sheep have already gotten used to this guy from wydlostad... they understand that he doesn't like being in the roaring herd and would like to be among the elite. :-)
honestly…..that was good :-D
Sure, if you didn't post here, you wouldn't reply to comments, you just post on iPhone websites, read them and show up in the discussion by writing meaningless comments, you don't have an iPhone yourself, so why not look for some reasons, right? The biggest idiots are the ones who just get busy, go to iPhone websites, and make idiots out of themselves in the discussions there, erm, I guess they don't, they are! And at the same time, he claims that he doesn't go to iPhone sites.. think about yourself, poor thing
Look, I would expect some objective information and not a copy of Apple's PR speech.
How about this: http://digiweb.ihned.cz/c1-44823820-novy-iphone-4-si-nekupujte-ma-dost-nedostatku-upozornil-vlivny-casopis
The flaws are there, it's a hot needle. The tribute doesn't always work out.
the headline is stupid, so I don't see why he gave it.. consumer reports just didn't rate it with the "recommend" mark, which is the highest award.. And in no case did he give the "not recommend" mark, which is the title of the article.. in their but otherwise the reviewers say that overall it is a great phone.. and the problem with the fact that it would be impossible to call in an area with a weak signal (and where other phones can be called) is really only a minority of people.. in addition to that, they say in the next report , that the cover will solve the problem even for those who keep the phone "missing".
As a PR statement, I do not consider the user's experience.. unfortunately, the author of the given article does not have such experience..
And the irony is that the same magazine rated it as the best smartphone of all :) I admit that I will probably be biased here, but the sensationalism seems pathetic to me :/
Well, it caught my attention and I think it's great, it's the best smartphone, but don't buy it :-))) it can be taken either way.-))
Well, in any case, apple is in the pruser consultation. On the news, they wrote that repairing (modifying) an iPhone can cost Apple 4 million dollars, which is about 900 billion crowns. But Apple apparently has sufficient financial reserves. However, this situation is certainly not entirely imaginary, and it might not be worthwhile to overlook it. It can be seen that the arrival of the iPhone 18 was relatively rushed.
It is quite clear that this Apple really did not succeed. The design of the antenna is definitely flawed. Although the problem can be partially solved by changing the firmware, it cannot be completely removed (it will only be gluing the hole in the Titanic with a corn patch). This is the second blow to Apple's credibility after admitting problems with Time Capsule.
Fortunately, Apple has huge cash reserves. So even if the worst-case scenario occurred and he had to withdraw all iPhone 4s from the market and compensate customers, he would be able to handle it without any problems.
But a tarnished reputation is very difficult to manage. So I hope that Apple will face it and admit its mistake and apologize to customers.
I think that the purpose of that conference will be to convince the public that it is the best iPhone ever and that the fault is in the software (personally I don't think so). Anyway, it will be interesting :-)
