Wireless, Iphone 4 | featured news

How is it that a company that's been making electronics in white for at least a decade can't produce an iPhone 4 in that color?

Phone calls might drop, but not complaints about problems with iPhone reception. Apple announced Friday that the company will discontinue its free case program at the end of September, a program that addressed reception issues with the new iPhone 4. Yet those reception issues haven't been fixed, Consumer Reports
argued Monday, and the consumer-watchdog group still can't recommend the new phone
.

Apple said it is ending its offer to give away free cases to iPhone 4 owners after Sept. 30, stating that the antenna-design issue "is even smaller than we originally thought."

Evidence continues to mount to support expectations that Apple's iPhone 4 will finally launch on Verizon this coming January.

It was only a matter of time before the porn industry took advantage of Face Time on the iPhone 4.

Customers will not be able to get their hands on Apple Inc's white iPhone 4 until later this year, the company said on Friday, conceding that making the model has proven surprisingly difficult.

Apple on Tuesday reported a $3.25 billion profit for its fiscal third quarter of 2010.

Steven P. Jobs, chief executive of Apple, acknowledged Friday that the company’s iPhone 4 had some problems with its antenna but said the same problems affected all smartphones and had been widely exaggerated by the media.

Apple will host a press conference to discuss the iPhone 4, said a company representative. Though no further details were provided, we assume that the conference will address concerns that the iPhone 4's antenna design causes increased dropped calls.

Facing complaints from users, Apple said the new iPhones use a “totally wrong” formula to display signal strength.
