Due to the uproar over the iPhone 4 antenna issue, Apple conceded and offered a free iphone 4 bumper case to quell the enraged iPhone masses, we all know how the story when and now that particular temporary fix to the issue is coming to an end.
According to an article over on Gizmodo by Kyle VanHemert, Apple will end the bumper case giveaway as of the 30th of September with the text on the Apple iPhone 4 Case Program has now changed to…
“We now know that the iPhone 4 antenna attenuation issue is even smaller than we originally thought. A small percentage of iPhone 4 users need a case, and we want to continue providing them a Bumper case for free. For everyone else, we are discontinuing the free case program on all iPhone 4s sold after September 30, 2010. We are also returning to our normal returns policy for all iPhone 4s sold after September 30. Users experiencing antenna issues should call AppleCare to request a free Bumper case.”
However apparently if you complain loud enough you’ll get a free bumper case, although how they know that the issue was smaller than they originally though if they gave away a bumper case to everyone is beyond me, and what about future purchases of the iPhone 4 as it will still have the antenna issue? Now if only they could release the white iPhone 4.
