Wow. This is unprecedented. What are they going to do? 60 day return period with no restocking fee? Free bumpers for everyone?

Change the subject by revealing some minor new thing the Apple and tech blogs can spew out piles of articles and summaries about.

My guess is they're going to announce they started putting a coating on new phones to fix the issue, and will offer free exchanges or cases to existing iPhone 4 customers.

*Either that, or Jobs is going to come out on stage and give a demonstration of how to hold the phone the right way.

They'll announce the iGlove, which will fix your faulty left hand.

My wild guess: $50 gift certificate until the manufactured units have a mitigating change. At that point, a limited period of swap-ups if requested.

I love the iGlove. It's so bad.

As long as Apple holds it the right way, the press conference will work correctly.
