Apple ~ 0.55% of iPhone 4 users complained to AppleCare about the antenna issue

At Apple’s press conference on the 16^th July 2010, Steve Jobs announced the statistic above. Impressive you may say – perhaps this issue isn’t that bad after-all. Well, like a lot of statistics, it’s worse than it looks. In-fact, the statistic proves that the antenna issue is complained about to AppleCare at an unbelievable rate…

Somewhat of a follow up from my previous post ‘What’s the frequency, Steve?‘, this post is a conclusion of Apple’s press conference held yesterday regarding the iPhone 4 antenna issues.

iPhone 4 – it’s not perfect

Steve Jobs – Apple’s CEO – immediately admitted at Apple’s press conference on July 16^th 2010 at 6:04pm GMT, that neither Apple or the iPhone 4 are perfect. To generalise this, Steve actually said “…phones aren’t perfect either”.

One of the easiest and therefore most common ways to spread the name of a business – email. Your email can be dispatched to hundreds of thousands of email addresses, instantly. The email should look professional and represent your own brand or online image. Sending out an email full of text will not be worth while!

Just like websites, emails can be made up of HTML (with a slight change to the email headers). You can therefore have a website right in their email client.

I love AJAX; the public love AJAX. Since Google’s real-time suggestions came about, AJAX powered web applications have exploded.

What is AJAX?

AJAX simply means Asynchronous JavaScript And XML. But what does that mean? Well, it means you don’t need to refresh the page in order to carry out actions such as form submissions, item re-ordering, and so on. jQuery has made AJAX unbelievably simple, so why not give it a go?

Let’s face it, there’s a serious design flaw in the new iPhone 4 released on the 24^th June of this year. If you haven’t already heard – it’s a signal problem. Clasping your shiny new iPhone 4 in your hand will cause the signal to drop, sometimes to nothing, instantly. There are theories flooding the net claiming the scientific reasoning for this, truth is, nothing specific has been proven or decided on. Rumours of antenna short circuiting have been amongst the most common of rumours. Other rumours include; incorrect signal algorithms, lack of signal strength to antenna due to a hand being in the way(!) and, of course, cheap hardware. Nevertheless, the stocks of iPhone 4′s continue to sell-out across the US and Europe.
