Apple Posts Video of iPhone 4 Press Conference, Antenna Information Pages
Apple has posted video of the iPhone 4 press conference held today at its campus in Cupertino, California. The company has also posted several new pages on its website dedicated to explaining the antenna issue and showing off the company's antenna design and testing facilities.
The press conference offered a presentation from Apple CEO Steve Jobs outlining the company's belief that antenna issues with the iPhone 4 are common to nearly all smartphones and that only a very small fraction of iPhone 4 customers have reported the issue. He noted, however, that Apple is committed to making sure that every customer is happy and to that end announced that the company will be offering free cases to all customers purchasing iPhone 4s through September 30th.
The company also acknowledged issues with the device's proximity sensor and reported that they will be addressed in a future software update.
Following Jobs' presentation, a Q&A session was held with Jobs, Tim Cook, and Bob Mansfield. The Q&A session is not, however, included in the video posted by Apple.

Interesting; too bad about 3rd party cases, of which I've bought (3) already aren't getting a REFUND.:(
Just took the Apple Market Research Survey, and I wasn't really impressed with the survey at all. It only addressed customer satisfaction and didn't allow for comments. No questions relating to issues, just wanted to know how satisfied you are with the iPhone 4/3G/3GS. I almost put "somewhat satisfied" with the iPhone 4 as a PHONE, but I'm pretty satisfied overall. Wish they would have taken my order for my NEW iPhone 4 CASE!!!:D:p:D

Does MacRumors not check its own links before posting? That's a link to the WWDC 2010 video.

And going back to the "Events" page there is no video of the press conference. Doesn't usually get posted until the evening.

No matter what presentation Steve is giving, I always want to know what his closet seriously looks like. Black turtlenecks and jeans from wall-to-wall.

I stayed with my 3GS, so I don't have any skin in the game on this issue, but the compromise seems fair - get a bumper or return the phone.
Personally, I think they will improve the antenna design, but they will do it quietly and with no big announcements.
