iPhone 4 antenna problem? Blame the users!
Plenty of people are guessing how tomorrow’s Apple iPhone 4 event will go. I’m pretty cynical about what Apple thinks of us customers, so here are my 2 cents:
- The entire event we will be about how users are wrong – that is, there is no problem if you just hold the phone correctly.
- A dizzying array of evidence will be presented concluding that the iPhone 4 has the best antenna of anything ever. And that users are wrong.
- There will be a direct attack on Consumer Reports for their apparent flip-flop and the validity of their tests will be questioned. After all, the Consumer Reports testers are users and, well users are wrong.
- Apple will provide a free bumper to those who request one, but it will be clear that only quitters and the non-worthy actually need one.
- No recall will be issued; however, a design change is certainly in the works and that won’t be mentioned at all.
I can sum this up as follows:
The Apple response will be that there is no actual problem aside from user error. Or as I’ve said to a few people, the real problem is that some iPhone users have left hands and they insist on using them.
