welcome to a special edition of loaded your iphone 4 update it's Friday July 16 i'm natali del conte and it's time to get loaded Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the stage in the San Francisco Bay Area today to discuss iphone 4 antenna issues he admitted the iphone 4 does have some replicate able antenna and reception problems but he said that reported dropped calls on iphone 4 were happening less frequently than dropped calls on iphone 3gs so it happens enough to have a press conference but not as often as the last phone okay then Apple solution is that they will give away free bumpers to iphone 4 users and refund the money of anyone who has already bought a bumper they will also waive a restocking fee so if you want to return the phone you get the full refund we already knew that job said they're continuing to research this issue so that it won't persist in future phones he also said that this antenna issue happens in all phones but they are getting enough bellyaching about it an iphone for that they are offering something for free not to mention the fact that their stock has dropped because of bad press this week I would say this is a pretty grandiose way to respond to a very small problem that happens to a small amount of users but at least they're talking about it enough that we did an entire show about it this afternoon so there you have it the reason Apple called an impromptu press conference you can read more about it at cnet com that's your news for now thank you for watching i'm natali del conte with cnettv and you him
