Steve Disappoints iPhone Fans
The flaw in the iPhone 4 got termed as Antennagate and went viral faster than Apple could even think of a strategy or a stop gap solution. Even the Apple die-hard fans were left wondering why and how could such a problem be there in an Apple product and that too in an iPhone that was supposed to beat even the most optimistic product sales figures.
So the conference called by Steve to explain the problem to the select media and bloggers was the most sought after and awaited event. But even here, Apple failed to capitalise (going by the media reports).
Check out the press conference here.
Steve refused to admit that there was a problem and in fact claimed that problem exists with most of the Smart Phones (from RIM, HTC etc).
The solution that Steve offered were:
His solution did not seem to merit appreciation as it seemed like a stop gap solution. He did admit later that Apple engineers are working overtime to fix this problem.
Knowing Apple we can confidently say thi problem will definietly be overcomes and a solution will be there to resolve the current problems. Let's wait and see what comes out.
But Apple's competitors are happy and customers are annoyed!!!
