Is it so much to ask to just hold it different? There is no way they will win this case.
IPhone 4 Class Action Lawsuits Begin

Re: IPhone 4 Class Action Lawsuits Begin
#22It's only been out a week or so... If you are unhappy with your iPhone then bring it back to the store and get a full refund. Simple. This culture of lawsuits baffles me.
Another article claimed that AT&T charges a 10% restocking fee, so you couldn't get a full refund.

I don't know what's more sad -- the people who dream up these lawsuits or the lawyers who take the cases.
The world is full of opportunistic parasites. Having a legal system that encourages it is the real travesty.
Encourages seems a little strong. I'd say the legal system doesn't encourage this behavior, but rather allows it.

I don't think Apple is planning on fixing it, as that would require a massive recall. Take it back and wait for iPhone 5.
If Apple has to they will give everyone who complains a free "bumper" case. Those things will probably cost Apple less than a dollar. I'm thinking of just buying bumpers preemptively, since they will also solve the vital "which of these otherwise identical iPhones is my wife's phone and which is mine?" problem.
Unlikely, according to this (posted to HN eariler today)

They could make changes to future production runs however (assuming it really is a widespread issue which I'm still not really convinced of)
I've heard enough "cannot reproduce" reports to suspect it's a minority of devices, still that's a lot of people affected. My suspicion is that there is a coating process that is failing in some cases, which would mean it could probably be resolved for future production runs.

I returned 6 opened, activated iPhone 4s to the Apple Store the day after buying them and Apple did not charge a restocking fee.
I also called AT&T to ensure the service was cancelled and to find out whether there would be any fees and they said there would not be. We'll see what happens if/when they send me a billing statement.

I've only been able to reproduce it in areas where the signal was awful to begin with. In areas where my 3gs drops calls weekly, using other people's 4's I can reproduce a dropped call with some regularity. My guess is that it's so hard to reproduce because even by attenuating the signal by holding it wrong, a lot of users are in an area where the signal is strong enough that it doesn't matter.

#28I'm convinced all this noise being made over the iPhone 4 "defects" is a very sophisticated PR push by Apple's competitors. My iPhone 4 hasn't dropped any more calls than my 3GS did. Maybe it's just me.

#29I'm an iPhone 4 owner and I don't think I've experienced this problem, am I in a minority here? The phone is an incredible piece of tech. Don't punish people for innovation or we will all be walking around with worse devices.
From what I've seen, you're not the minority. I don't know of anyone that actually is experiencing this problem other than the people complaining online. Also, all reviews I've read have not had this issue, but do mention that a good number of people are experiencing it.

Yes, that is too much to ask for, but a lawsuit is also completely overkill. If the thing doesn't work, take it back for a refund. Done.
