iPhone Conference

[Ifti]

Main points -

- No product recall, since there is nothing wrong with the phone. Signal degradation happens will all phones, no matter which manufacturer.
- Free case with every iPhone. If you already have a case you can get a refund.
- 30 day money back guarantee. If you are not happy you can get a full refund with no restocking fee etc.
- Working on a fix for the proximity sensor issue in some phones.
- White iPhone will begin shipping end of July

You only get a free case upto September, what happens after that or will the quietly redesign the iPhone before then and have them out in the wild by the time the offer ends

How do you get the case ?

[cameluk]

^^^^^^^

Apple will have a website up next week

[SteveP]

Umm, not sure what to do.

Had my first iPhone 4 nicked four days after launch, long story around no insurance cover, so have been waiting to see what happens with the signal stuff, might just get a white one or maybe even wait until sept 

[Ifti]

Im getting a white one asap - miss my iPhone! (I sold my 3GS just before the new one launched!)

I have a Black bumper (looks great on the white phone!) already - purchased via O2 as it was cheaper then Apple.
Not sure if I should return it for a refund or not, as Apple have a shortage of Bumpers and I may not be able to get a free one through them - they said they would source alternatives as well - not sure what these will be.

Or, should I keep the black, and get a second case - maybe a different colour bumper - as my free case..?....

[cameluk]

Apple won't refund 3rd party cases, but was the bumper you bought from O2 a Apple one, if so then you should be able to get a refund

There are not many 3rd party cases out there

[Ifti]

Yeh - its the proper Apple one, just purchased through O2 as it was £5 cheaper!

I received it yesterday, and it has all the Apple markings etc on the packaging as normal - so yes its an original.

Not sure if O2 will give refunds though. Im assuming they purchased a bulk lot from Apple to resell or something, so it may depend on whether Apple will absorb their cost?

It seems like they'll secretly change it

What about our screwed Up bluetooth issues on 3g's!!!!  

Can 3.1 software be re-loaded from Itunes??  . Or visit to Apple shop and create sh!t??

[Ifti]

You'll need to find and download the 3.1 update from the net.
I think you then open iTunes, or click the restore button, with the shift button pressed (or something like that) to search for the downloaded firmware on your system, and instal that.

[Saint Steve]

Thanx Ifti!!. Just downloading 3.1.3 version to re install.

Ill wait for 4.06 version no doubt before it works again!!

A nice strong, measured response from Apple, backed up by hard facts.
