Apple is holding a press conference tomorrow morning (at 10AM Pacific) to ‘discuss the iPhone 4 ‘. There seems little doubt among Apple-focused and general tech sites that this will be to address the iPhone 4 antenna issue. The big question of course is how they will address the issue. The general consensus so far (which I agree with) is that this will not just be a lesson on how other mobile phones have similar issues and how we ‘re holding it wrong. Something more along these lines seems far more likely:
Apple’s scheduling of a press conference Friday to talk about the iPhone 4 could foreshadow a product recall, a free in-store modification of the device’s hardware, or a handout of free bumpers, depending on who you ask.
John Gruber at Daring Fireball even says he has a (pure) hunch that
something big, or at least biggish, is going down tomorrow
I really hope he ‘s right “ this seems like an excellent moment for Apple to step up big-time in acknowledging the issue and trying to make it right for those affected.
