Not Apple related at all , butPenny Arcade‘s take on the new , more Gears Of warfare - same Harry Potter game is pretty fantastic :
8:41 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Oh , and how much of an act of showmanship would it be if Apple already had the Verizon deal planned , but held it in their back sac for such a time as this when they needed good press ?
8:42 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Joel Johnson :
You remember that Batman bike leather thing ? There are pictures on their Facebook pageboy now of guys actually wearing it : [ Facebook ]
I probably should n’t criticise since part of me call back that looks awesome . ( And I come off motorcycles all the time . )
8:45 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Yeah , Jason , I was wondering about that . The Verizon thing , that is . I would be rapturous , in reality . I refused to raise to iPhone 4 because I ’m done with AT&T. ( Verizon is vicious in their own ways , but at least they make the phone ring on time . )
8:47 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Joel : And it would remove the antenna issuing too , because we all bang Verizon telephone ’ reception is power by trick . And magic is unperturbed by hands .
8:52 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Inhatko ’s sustain hispredictionsabout the press group discussion come . As per common , it ’s long but fun .
I peculiarly love this part : “ Apple will say that they ’re always interested in meliorate their products just as a general rule . They will orient out that every product they ’ve release has been keep abreast up by a firmware update a few days , week , or months later on , and perhaps even a Revision B hardware after they ’ve pull in datum from millions and millions of drug user experiences over many calendar month . Not because the original modelling was defective , but just to make a unadulterated twist even perfect - er . ” I wager he ’s right-hand .
8:54 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Long but fun is how I listen most people depict Inhatko .
8:55 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Now , THIS iPhone by Deviantart creative person enriquemorgan should have no problems whatsoever .

Speaking of provider , what do you think of theSprint / T - Mobile mergerrumor ? I ’m kinda for it , since I ’ve always been a lover of T - Mobile ’s low rate , and Sprint ’s generous “ unlimited ” offerings . Combining those two and making a generous , low - rate provider that worked on LTE 4 G would be a prime fair game for upright phones .
9:10 AM ON JUL 16 2010
https://gizmodo.com/sprint-ceo-sees-logic-in-a-t-mobile-merger-5585983
Man , who cognise ? I ’m not plugged into the business scene enough to have an informed opinion . I will say that from my experience with Sprint , both as a former employee ( but who is n’t in Kansas City ? ) and a once cheerleader , there ’s no opportunity that Sprint ca n’t ascertain a way to ivory .
Actually , I ’d rather T - Mobile just storm up their 4G / LTE plans . Sprint ’s leadership teams are just too flakey .
9:16 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Quick cozy canvass that iPhone 4 users cananswer here : How many times have you used FaceTime ? Me , about 5 .

Nobody ’s been rent within yet , and we ’re actively watching gdgt , Ars Technica and Apple Insider .
9:23 AM ON JUL 16 2010
How awing would it be if everyone was ask , once they got inside , to put down their laptops so there was no Wi - Fi preventive issues ?
9:26 AM ON JUL 16 2010
I ca n’t imagine that this event is go to go on longer than an hour … correct ? If it ’s just about the iPhone 4 hooey , I see perchance an time of day if they go slowly and methodically , like a deadening college lecture . But if they have something new to denote , that ’ll be something different entirely . ( And by new , I intend a new product . )
9:31 AM ON JUL 16 2010
One neat matter : if you desire your portrayal drawn by super artist David Lanham , check this out . He ’s doing FaceTime portraiture for $ 50 a daddy , but he ’s getting swamped by asking . ( Sorry Dave , probably just double - swamped you with requests now ! )

I just grabbed a last straightaway gage and thumbed through the “ Less and More : The Design Ethos of Dieter Rams ” script we ’ll be excerpting before long . His designs just make my head explode with ideas . I ’ll never be 1/100th of the interior designer he is , but it ’s dotty to me how simple collections of rectangle and circles can remain to timeless . ( Jesus ! You have to get a copy of this book . )
9:43 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Getting confining to starting ! Only 15 minutes left !
9:44 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Ars says : “ So just to review , Apple has explicitly assure Bloomberg there will be no recall , and we know that this event is only about the iPhone 4 . ”

From what I see , Apple ’s been limiting the amount of people per outlet on most outlets to 1 , intend there will be fewer exposure today than common .
9:52 AM ON JUL 16 2010
While I think Apple ’s reaction to the feeler issuance has been foully dismissive , I do feel sort of unsound for them . I do n’t suppose they like take in their flagship product be anything less than perfect . It ’s why I line up rumor that they knew it was an emergence but ignore it to be … not “ dubitable ” , I guess , but “ uncompleted ” .
Then again it ’s Apple , so maybe arrogance or confidence finally got the sound of their consignment to quality . perplexing !
9:53 AM ON JUL 16 2010
People are being lease in now .
9:54 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Joel : It ’s also very interesting that in just 3 years the iPhone has become Apple ’s flagship intersection . make it all the more important that they cover issue , or even perception of issue , quickly and decisively .
9:55 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Whoopi ( is she still a T - Mobile spokesperson ? ) “ murder ” her iPhone . I think it ’s a bit pathetic , but this is the form of affair that indicates that the reception problems have to be nipped in the bud right now .
9:56 AM ON JUL 16 2010
To be fair , Whoopi is on more than a fair amount of medicinal drug , and she ’s been Paula Abdul - ing her way through The horizon for a while now . Smashing her phone is probably the least unhinged thing she did this week .
9:58 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Ars state : “ We hear jazz is playing in the hall , not unlike the WWDC keynote . ” Most likely to calm everyone down before the actual talk starts . [ Ars Technica ]
9:59 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Gdgt sound out this is the little Apple event they ’ve ever regard . [ gdgt ]
10:00 AM ON JUL 16 2010
( Also , she defended Mel Gibson . Thanks to everyone who pointed that out . )
According to the WSJ ’s blogger , there is a newsman from Consumer Reports at the closet conference .
Ars says : “ A lot of rumors outside in the insistence crowd … a recall , free bumpers , and apology , a novel intersection to distract multitude from the problems . ” [ Ars Technica ]
10:03 AM ON JUL 16 2010
It ’s starting . [ gdgt ]
10:04 AM ON JUL 16 2010
They ’re playingthe antenna song , and Ars say it ’s essentially a “ barb on the media ” and that “ it ’s a media fantasy . ” [ Ars Technica ]
10:05 AM ON JUL 16 2010
If this is pose the shade of the event , I think we know what we ’re in for today . ( Not a reminiscence , obviously . )
10:06 AM ON JUL 16 2010
caper is on stage . [ Ars Technica ]
Oh and the video mentions us , apparently .
There ’s going to be 15 minutes of presentation followed by Q&A. [ gdgt ]
10:07 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Jobs is grant that Apple is n’t perfect and neither are its cell phones , yet the company is institutionalise to making its client happy . [ Apple Insider ]
10:08 AM ON JUL 16 2010
“ We ’re not perfect . Phones are n’t stark . We bang that , you get laid that . But we desire to make all our users happy . If you do n’t know that , you do n’t know Apple . We ’re going to talk about how we ’re going to do that . ” Jobs , viaGDGT
Jobs say the iPhone 4 is the good product they ’ve ever made , and has sold 3 million in 3 weeks . [ Ars Technica ]
“ It ’s been 22 day . Apple is an engineering - driven company . The way we work , we desire to find what the real problem is before we come up with a solution . We wanted to find out what the tangible issues are , and we require to share what we ’ve learned . So let ’s go to the data . ” [ gdgt ]
10:10 AM ON JUL 16 2010
So by that system of logic , Apple did n’t know about this problem before it was launched . Meaning ? Not enough testing was done ? Unclear at this point .
So it ’s light that they ’re snuff it to examine to make a showcase for why it ’s not such a big deal and how it can be fix without a recall . Otherwise Jobs would n’t be starting out so defensively .
Now they ’re demonstrate videos of hoi polloi fascinate OTHER phones , like BlackBerries , lowering the reception .
10:11 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Most of Apple ’s top White House are sit down in the front quarrel : tim cook , bertrand serlet , bob mansfield , and phil Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller [ MacRumors ]
10:12 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Now , the a television show up the HTC Droid Eris doing the same matter .
Now the Samsung Omnia , showing bar droppage . [ Ars Technica ]
10:13 AM ON JUL 16 2010
So again , with the presentation ( even if it ’s inadequate ) starting off this defensively , it ’s pretty vindicated that the message is a bit disjointed . Is there a trouble ? Apple seems to say yes , but why show these picture if the trouble is n’t unique to them ?
10:14 AM ON JUL 16 2010
“ This is life in the smartphone world . telephone set are n’t perfect . ” [ gdgt ]
10:15 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Liveblogger X :
The crowd was oddly quiet , chemical reaction - less really , when they played the iPhone antenna song .
“ It ’s a challenge for the whole industry , and we ’re doing the best we can . But every phone has week spots . Now , we ’re not perfect : we made it very visible ( with a little help from some of our friends from certain websites ) . ” [ gdgt ]
There are basically no images coming out , but Grubersnapped this oneof EXEC ride on the front quarrel .
10:16 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Jobs say that their option is to put in the right algorithm to calculate bars , which they ’ve fixate with 4.0.1 .
10:17 AM ON JUL 16 2010
“ The LA Times reporter sitting next to me has a Verizon Air Card . No Bars ! ” – Markoff
Apple says they tested it in their 100 million dollar antenna lab , with 18 Ph.D. scientists do work on this job , and they did n’t reckon it would be a big problem since “ every smartphone has this issue , ” they claim . [ Ars Technica ]
10:18 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Man , this is all so donnish .
Engadget‘s liveblog has somegreat photo .
10:19 AM ON JUL 16 2010
“ The iPhone 4 was tested in the bedroom and Apple was aware that grapple the handset on the left over mitt side would decrease the identification number of signal bars , but never did they anticipate it causing such a trouble for consumers . ” [ Apple Insider ]
occupation say only 1 half of 1 percent has call Applecare for this trouble . That ’s 0.5 % . [ Ars Technica ]
10:20 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Now , they ’re going to compare the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 3GS . “ The good deal smartphone in history . The gold monetary standard . ” [ gdgt ]
10:21 AM ON JUL 16 2010
The number about returns and complaints are n’t really germane . If it ’s a problem it ’s a problem , no matter how many citizenry plain directly to Apple . I also suspect that lot of people have been waiting to see if Apple provides a fix .
10:22 AM ON JUL 16 2010
compare take charge per unit , the 3GS restitution rates were 6 % , now they ’re 1.7 % for the iPhone 4 . [ Ars Technica ]
“ Those numbers pool do n’t append up to all the wax concerns waggle by the media , Jobs remarks . He ’s about to give some information on AT&T and Apple return rate … ” [ Apple Insider ]
Apple is really , really in full defensive posture now .
10:23 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Jobs says AT&T logs dropped calls , and although they ca n’t release the out-and-out turn because it ’s “ confidential and proprietary ” , they can peach about the difference between iPhone 4 and 3GS . [ Ars Technica ]
10:24 AM ON JUL 16 2010
“ I can recite you that since we ’re being completely filmy , even though we trust the iPhone ’s antenna is ranking , the information says the iPhone 4 drops more calls than the 3GS . But how many more calls per hundred does it drop ? ” [ gdgt ]
Jobs say it drops less than one call per hundred less than the 3GS . ( It ’s a bit unclear what Jobs means by this , everyone is upset . ) I think he signify that it drops less than 1 per 100 calls , and that ’s less than the 3GS .
10:26 AM ON JUL 16 2010
“ Yes , that ’s correct , the call pearl is less than 1 % different ” [ Ars Technica ]
10:27 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Jobs attributes this deviation to the fact that there were a lot of cases for the 3GS when that was let go of , and there are n’t many for the iPhone 4 now .
Meaning , they ’re sticking to the possibility that masses need to utilise a case for the phone to forbid cut down Call .
“ Jobs has come over 5 yard email from user evidence him that the iPhone 4 works absolutely , ” and thus does n’t recognise what the flap is all about . [ Ars Technica ]
10:28 AM ON JUL 16 2010
“ Steve ’s reviewing his power point from before – really hammering this poppycock home . But still , none of this explains the single - finger data blocking phenomena . ” [ gdgt ]
10:29 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Jobs maintains that the problem has been “ be adrift out out of ratio ” , but they “ wo n’t stop until every user is glad . ” [ Apple Insider ]
How cool is this ? It ’s a behind - the - scene snap from the product installation behind the township lobby . [ @mrvideobba ]
So what is Apple conk to do ? They ’ve released 4.0.1 , which situate the feeler .
Everyone get a liberal case . If you bribe one , you get a full refund . [ Ars Technica ]
10:30 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Apple is doing this for every iPhone 4 through September 30 . They will transmit you a spare cause . [ gdgt ]
They ca n’t make enough bumper , but they will allow other free cases as well . pluck a case and they ’ll get off it . [ Ars Technica ]
10:31 AM ON JUL 16 2010
you could apply on the website starting former next hebdomad .
You get a case ! And you get a typeface ! And you get a … CALL FAILED
If you ’re still unhappy , land the iPhone 4 back for a full repayment for 30 day . ( Unclear when the 30 days starts . )

“ We eff our drug user . We try very hard to surprise and delight them . We work our asses off . And it ’s slap-up , and we have a blast doing it . And we make some moderately interesting products for them – Macs , iPhones , iPads , iPods , the Apple TV … we make some pretty great product . ” [ gdgt ]
10:34 AM ON JUL 16 2010
So in brusk , they ’re saying “ This is n’t a trouble . All phones have outlet . But we ’ll do you a favor and give you a case . ”
10:35 AM ON JUL 16 2010
I bang this citation : “ We enjoy our exploiter so much we ’ve built 300 orchard apple tree retail stores for them . ” -Jobs [ Ars Technica ]
Jobs is enjoin that when there are problems , they take it in person . “ Maybe we should have a wall of PR people to insulate us , but we do n’t – when our users have a problem , we have a job . ”
10:36 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Yeah , those Apple Stores that render a tremendous net profit were build up solely out of love for their customers . They also be intimate client ’ money so much they build an exciting new money bin .
10:37 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Stock monetary value go from 253.69 before the bumper announcement to 254.67 now , and it ’s still going up . Google
Jobs carry on the political party line that there is no trouble : “ But the datum sustain the fact that the iPhone 4 is the best smartphone in the reality , and that there is no antennagate . ” [ Ars Technica ]
10:38 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Q&A clip , Tim Cook and Bob Mansfield are coming on degree . Someone asked about Steve Jobs ’s wellness .
task say he ’s fine , but he disrupt his holiday in Hawaii for this . ( take care what you jerks have done . ) [ Ars Technica ]
10:39 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Someone asked if they were going to change the aerial aim , and Jobs read they ’re very felicitous with it and it ’s good than the 3GS in every way . [ Ars Technica ]
10:40 AM ON JUL 16 2010
“ I do n’t know what our next antenna design will be – possibly our wizards in the antenna lab will come up with something better . But looking at the data , we do n’t think we have a problem . ” [ gdgt ]
10:41 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Sounds like a way to say that they will change it , but not admitting that the current one has any problems of any kind .
Someone asked : “ Your demonstration picture a vise grip on the phone to make the bars flatten , but online we ’ve figure that you may touch with a undivided digit . ” [ Ars Technica ]
10:42 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Engineering guy answers that any telephone will be worse when gripped than in free blank space , if you deeply transfix the phone you rarefy the signal by a gravid amount . ( Ars says this was n’t an answer to the interrogation . ) [ Ars Technica ]
10:43 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Q : Did anyone warn you about this ?
A Steve : I assume you ’re referring to the Bloomberg clause ? Yeah , it ’s a soot . … what ’s portrayed in that article never came across my knowingness , and I talked to Ruben and he agrees it ’s full bullshit . [ gdgt ]
10:45 AM ON JUL 16 2010
When ask whether he ’s go to make an apology to Apple investors , he state no , he has no apology .
10:47 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Q : Is Apple a company that make users have to choose between form and function
A : We ’re a company that likes to do both . [ Ars Technica ]
Apple Insider says the doubtfulness about owing customers an apology was dodged . [ Apple Insider ]
I opine Jobs & Apple realize that there ’s no corrective therapeutic other than the market place , which gives them the sumptuosity of ignore problem in a way only a company with the perceived “ best ” Cartesian product can do . Which is dandy until it bites them in the rear end . Winer may be right . This may really be the point where Apple ’s own assurance ends up undermining every last arrogant affair they say .
Jobs is going through reasons why the iPhone 4 is enceinte : Retina screen door , flimsy smartphone , and enounce he need to have his cake and eat it too , trying to have keen design and carrying into action . [ Ars Technica ]
10:48 AM ON JUL 16 2010
AT&T will give full refunds for any plans tied to an iPhone 4 contract . [ Apple Insider ]
10:50 AM ON JUL 16 2010
This means that if you re - upped for a 2 year contract , AT&T will put you back to where you started .
Q : Is there anything you could have said in the launching keynote to downcast expectations ?
Steve : I ’ve think about that a LOT . We did n’t to the full understand if there were problem at that point . We might have set the prospect that smartphones have watery place … but the fact is , most smartphones seem to have the same characteristic as the iPhone 4 . If you grip them in a certain fashion they lose signal specialty dramatically , specially in a low signaling strength field . And one of the thing we ’ve check is that as a leader in the smartphone earth now , we need to educate . So what we need was datum . And now we ’ve got some and we ’re sharing it now . [ gdgt ]
10:51 AM ON JUL 16 2010
“ Apple does nt conceive its possible at this point to create a smartphone that does n’t have weak spots unless you make it so large that it wo nt jibe in your pouch or your deal . ” [ Apple Insider ]
10:52 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Apple Insider says Q&A is hitting a paries and it ’s getting repetitious .
10:53 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Q : After September 30th , is it because after then you expect people to buy a free slip ?
Steve : It ’s so we can reevaluate this in September , I have no mind what solution may come up . [ gdgt ]
10:54 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Jobs suppose they will not repay purchase of third - party slip .
“ mass are still call for the same bull , some guy is rambling about how hard it is for his girl to get a casing ” [ Ars Technica ]
Basically Apple is saying they might find “ another solution ” by Sept. 30 that might not want using a case .
10:55 AM ON JUL 16 2010
All the Apple guy on stage pulled out their phones to show they were n’t using the bumper .
10:57 AM ON JUL 16 2010
“ Steve : I use it in my home – and I hold up in a brick house . And I ’ve get receipt where I have n’t get it before , I ’m thrilled . That does n’t entail other people do n’t have trouble , but that ’s been my experience . ” [ gdgt ]
10:58 AM ON JUL 16 2010
When asked what he would do other than at the next launch , Jobs says he does n’t bed , and he demand a little distance from thing .
Ars state Jobs hold on stressing that it ’s only been 22 days and they just now get the data . [ Ars Technica ]
10:59 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Q : What have you learned here ?
Steve : There are some things we jazz that we did learn here . One affair is how much we hump our customer and how we are going to take care of them . We were stunned and upset and embarrassed by the Consumer Reports stuff , and the reasonableness we did n’t say more is because we did n’t hump enough . If we ’d have done this issue a week and a half ago , we would n’t have had half the datum we have today . [ gdgt ]
11:00 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Stock is back down to pre - complimentary bumper levels .
Jobs is accent that they ’re an engineering company and that they think like engineers , which is wayward to what we ’ve heard from factual engineers at the company , who say that they call up like industrial designers and engine room falls second .
11:01 AM ON JUL 16 2010
I do n’t like the manner this was address at all , but I will admit it ’s a infernal - if - you - do / don’t site : If they did a full recall it ’d be a massive hit for the business ( and perhaps out of proportion with the issue ) , but by just putting a literal ring - attention over the issue it still urinate everything seem unresolved .
“ It ’s human nature when someone or an organizaiton fix really braggart , people prove to tear it down . Now it ’s happening to Google .. Google is a great company . ” [ Ars Technica ]
11:02 AM ON JUL 16 2010
“ Apple has been around for 34 year Jobs says … “ have n’t we earned the believability and trust from some of the wardrobe to give us the welfare of the doubtfulness of our motivations ? ” [ Ars Technica ]
11:03 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Q : is there a hardware redesign that ’s possible in this gen of iphone 4 that would get disembarrass of this or touch on it , or do you plan to do that ? ”
Jobs : you could go on the WWW and look at picture of nokia phones that embark with stickers on the back that say “ do n’t touch here ” [ Ars Technica ]
11:04 AM ON JUL 16 2010
“ We will continue to work on more modern antenna design that do n’t have this trouble or put this problem in an out of the way place . ” [ gdgt ]
11:06 AM ON JUL 16 2010
I recall Steve Jobs just threatened to secede from the Union .
“ Apple engineers have been to people ’s house to do run , take logs from the speech sound , etc … ” [ Ars Technica ]
11:07 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Q : Did you view a callback ?
Steve : When you love your customer , nothing is off the table . But we want to be data point driven . We charge engineers to mass ’s home with psychometric test equipment and take logs …
Bob : For the phonograph record , we tell them we were coming .
Steve : And we did n’t whap down any doors ! [ Laughs . ] [ gdgt ]
11:09 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Q ( Josh , Engadget ): NY Times say this might have a software program fix , is this something that can be help with software package ?
Steve : We just spent the last hour going through how the iPhone 4 drops only 1 more call per hundred than the 3GS . … Go talk to the Times , because you guys talk to yourselves a good deal , and they ’re just making this material up [ gdgt ]
11:13 AM ON JUL 16 2010
Forstall jumped up on stage : “ That statement is plainly false . Can we continue to tune the way the baseband interacts with the mesh ? Yes , and we do this all the time . But that statement is false . ”
Steve : “ One many statements lately that fall into that category . ” [ gdgt ]
11:14 AM ON JUL 16 2010
I am literally stunned into quiet at this item . I … I just . This is a trainwreck .
