Proximity Sensor Issue Being Addressed in Future Update
During today's press conference. Apple's Steve Jobs revealed that they are tracking some issues with the iPhone 4's proximity sensor and expects to fix this in the next software update. We previously reported on this issue two weeks ago:
one of the most prevalent [problems] of late has been problems with the device's proximity sensors designed to sense when the phone is held up to the user's face and deactivate the device's screen, thus preventing unintended activation of buttons on the display.
Affected users found themselves accidentally ending calls or causing other unintended key presses. No word on when the software update will become available.Top Rated Comments

I more afraid that Steve dodged the question of his health. Not good at all.
This could explain some of the dropped calls related to a software fix.
No software is perfect. Especially something as complex as this. I'm sure there are a lot of other internal fixes in this such as multitasking and power management. Downloading this update today.

" I’m fine! I was on vacation in Hawaii, but this was important enough to come back for. I’m fine."
Then 20 mins later he says this:
"... we’ve had cots in the labs, cars in the parking lots all night, we’ve been living here."
So he was in hawaii while they were "living at apple"? :confused:
Shall I return it now just in case?
PS answering every complaint with "if you don't like it, return it" doesn't help much.
He said he was fine, what more do you want him to say? What bothers me more is that he said this:
" I’m fine! I was on vacation in Hawaii, but this was important enough to come back for. I’m fine."
