Apple to Fix iPhone 4 Antenna Issues at no Charge

Since Apple iPhone 4’s antenna issue has been discovered, Apple lived a real nightmare. Steve Jobs was asked to fix the phone, free of charge.

Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi said in a report on Tuesday that such a recall could cost Apple $1.5 billion, although such a move was unlikely.

Also known as the “death grip”, holding the phone a certain way makes Apple’s iPhone 4 lose signal, because of an antenna problem.

“In our reporting and a video yesterday, we made the point that the signal drop that iPhone 4 customers have observed when they hold their phones the “wrong” way is real—and we’ve called on Apple to do something about it. In an earlier statement, the company noted that attenuated performance is a “fact of life” for every wireless phone.”

“Apple suggested owners mitigate the problem by holding the phone differently or purchasing a case. But those solutions put the onus on consumers and skirt Apple’s obligation to offer a product that works consistently and reliably out of the box.”

“We think it’s the company’s responsibility to provide the fix—at no extra cost to consumers,” Consumer Reports magazine added.

This might be a matter of life and death for Apple Inc., as there needs to be taken an important decision.
