Apple’s Solutions for the iPhone 4

Earlier today, Steve Jobs stepped on stage and made three announcements about the iPhone 4 and some of its problems.

The first of which was about the phone’s antenna problem. Jobs explained that Apple isn’t going to change the design, explaining that it’s even “better than the 3GS.” Instead of doing a recall, Apple will be giving away free bumpers and a selection of other cases until September 30 to iPhone owners. We’re expecting that Apple will have a solution to the problem by then anyways.

Next up was the discussion about the long-awaited white iPhone 4. Jobs said that it will be available soon with limited quantities.

The final announcement was about the iPhone’s proximity sensor problems. Unlike the case of the antenna, the proximity sensor will be fixed by a soon-to-be released iOS update.

We would still like to mention that you can return the iPhone 4 until your 30 day return policy is up, if you feel like a bumper/case or software update wont fix the problems.
