Perhaps they listened to me.
One of my favorite movies way back when. Network in case the younguns dont know.
I didn't think there was anyone over 12 hear other than me (and you).
This is not a freaking keynote or a media event. What is it you people don't get?
This is a press conference about the current antenna issues.
i doubt its for any of those things. they wouldn't do a press release for iOS or would they do anything regarding verizon right now in the midst of poor reviews. it's most definitely regarding the antenna issues.
Where oh where is the iPhone4?
i need opinions on this subject. do you think they will quietly release the white iphone4 out of no where one day this summer or do you think they will put an actual release date on it?

Soooooooo, what does everyone think the press conference will be about?
To announce the release of the 4.1 update (I hope not) but it looks like it! I will be taking my iPhone back if that is the case not because I don't like my phone but because apple is full of s*** and can't admit that they messed up
"The bumper fix is more likely, as it could be managed via Apple Stores, and could be seen as a goodwill gesture, a way for Apple to save face. (Consumer Reports today said that the bumper does indeed "alleviate" the problem.) Analyst firm Piper Jaffray said that the bumper fix may cost $178.5 million about a day's earnings for Apple."

Oh, I agree with you completely!
I have been able to reproduce the signal loss, albeit at a lesser amount, even with my bumper on.
I surely hope they have a better solution than a band-aid.
I know it's a press conference and not a keynote but they probably throw in there somewhere (after they give us a solution for the antenna issue either recall or compensation) when the white iPhone 4 will release since this Friday is technically the 2nd half of July.
My guess, free bumpers, because a recall is just way too expensive and iPhone 4's will be sold tomorrow so apple would look stupid doing a recall the next day.

There's at least 3 of us it seems
Oh how sad that he or anyone else didn't get that line, eh?
Some Things to Note...
ip4 sales have not been halted at either AT&T or Apple
And wouldnt Any acknowledgement of a faulty product would trigger an automatic recall in Europe?
Recalls are unlikely, as are bumpers (would lead to recall). Something else we havent considered?
Perhaps only an announcement of ios4.1

would that be more immoral than those of us who got the black ones temporarily just to get the white ones later?
Press conference != "We'll have a statement and then take some questions..."
It means they've got something to say and that's about it. I'm betting that Steve Jobs isn't even going to be there amongst the legal team and marketing people that will be actually running this press conference, and if he does make an appearance, he won't say a damned word.
"That's my prediction... and I'm stickin' to it..."

Hey, if hes young, hes probably never heard of the movie. A classic for our age group though.
