Tech: Steve Jobs on iPhone 4’s antenna issues: Rawr! ME ANGRY

  • It’s been blown out of proportion. I know it’s fun to have a story, but it’s less fun when you’re on the other side.
  • Steve Jobs • Discussing the whole “Antennagate” issue, which he emphasized was common to other phones besides the iPhone 4. That said, dude’s offering free cases (not just “bumper” cases, because they can’t make them fast enough) – and refunds for people who bought bumper cases – through September 30th. (Which they’ll reexamine when the time comes.) And if that’s not enough for people, they can get refunds, including being let out of their contracts. Sounds like a pretty good solution, although Jobs definitely had his teeth out today. source
