Apple held a invite-only press conference to discuss the rapidly popular iPhone for which is believed by most to have an engineering flaw that effects signal reception and causes many users to experience dropped calls.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs spoke Friday to address the signal issue caused by the grip of the user and contact with the phones external antenna of the iphone 4. Purchasers of the iPhone 4 will be receiving free cases to help prevent the weakening cell signals. It was announced by Steve Jobs that Apple cannot produce enough of the bumpers. They are now working with third parties to get the cases for all the iPhone 4 users.
If customers are still not happy with the bumper Jobs said, “you can bring your iPhone back within 30 days for a full refund.”
This past Thursday a software update has been released for the iPhone 4 that changes the way that reception is shown to the user.

Let me ask this question, how many of you have an iPhone 4? Also if you have the iPhone 4 are you affected by this issue, can you hold the phone in your left hand (the grip of death) and cause your bars to go down?
Do you have a case?
Do you drop calls?
I'll start.
Yes I have an iPhone4
No I can not recreate the issue with the death grip
Yes I have and I have tested both ways.
Yes I drop more calls now with my iPhone4 then with my 3g
