Droid phones?

#3Oops, our phone isn't broken, we just "mistakenly" said the network didn't suck when it did.

Does the Droid have an antenna?
Edit: I didn't understand your original comment. Rereading it, yeah, that doesn't make much sense. Perhaps the dear leader only cares about the Droid family on Verizon. Well, more likely they just didn't want to acknowledge the existence of Android in a press release where they are delivering a mea culpa.

#6It's great to see Apple taking on the problem head-on. I'd much rather see honesty from a company than have them deny it and sweep it under the rug as if it were never a problem.

#7This doesn't seem to jive with AnandTech's testing which ignored the bars completely and installed some software to read the signal strength directly.
Their conclusion was that the iPhone 4 had better reception overall than the 3GS for various reasons, (a fact which Apple seem to be clinging to like a life raft) but that the external antennae was still faulty even when held "normally" and if fixed would make a major difference in areas with poor reception.

#8My palm is pretty big, and when i fully cover my nokia 1100 cell phone, not a single bar of network is lost. Stop Covering up Apple, and admit that you guys committed a mistake.

#9"As a reminder, if you are not fully satisfied, you can return your undamaged iPhone to any Apple Retail Store or the online Apple Store within 30 days of purchase for a full refund."
This is more pragmatic than bitching on the Internet (I concede a difference between investing and reporting these problems and merely bitching) or class action lawsuits[1]. Vote with your wallet, eh?
Re: Apple letter about iPhone 4
#10I particularly liked the reminder about the return policy. I think that was put in there as a hedge against those class-action lawsuits. It makes no sense to sue over a product that you can still return. And now, the issues are so well documented that I doubt anyone buying a phone now could claim to be oblivious to the issues.
