IPhone :: Free Bumpers / Should Apple Supply Free Bumper
Jun 24, 2010
Haveing seen the explosion of threds about the iphone signal problem I cant help notice the amount of people willing to apcept a free bumper! are people out there heads?
Its a flaw at the end of the day and if apple admit to it will people find it that hard to give up there phone and apcept a free bumper? do we get free screws with the next purchase?
Does anyone have a nokia phone from years back with expess on covers? think the its the 3210 i had I lost the back and if you caught the little metal strip antenna with your hand it killed the signal and droped the call!
Is this whats happening here? It seems the more I read the threds this could be happening with the iphone 4!?
Will Apple have some sort of registration thing on their website next week where you sign up for one and they send it to you like they did with the power adapters a couple years back? Will I have to go to an Apple Store for it? Or can I just go to the Best Buy I got my phone at and pick one up?
Is anyone actually going to use their free case or are you going to list it on eBay as soon as you get it and use the money to get a REAL case whenever Contour decides to make their freaking Showcase case for the IP4?
I phoned apple care, told them I had the antenna issue. He said he has to transfer me to his supervisor if it's about that. When the supervisor answered he asked me in detail how it happens. He got me to do it while I was on the phone with him. He said the reason for this is that he has to forward all the details to the engineering department.
He then said that even though it's a hardware issue, the engineering department are working on a software fix for next week.He said in the mean time he will send me a free bumper. However, he then said I might get the software fix before I receive the bumper, Monday prehaps?Apple are on top of this, even though jobs thinks its not an issue- it's clearly become one.
I will be getting the iPhone sometime as I need to save up a couple more weeks. So then I get no free bumper? I don't understand why apple is not giving free?
Some people are salivating at the thought of getting a free bumper from Apple. Others think that the bumper is and ugly and wouldn't want it even if free. Some say the real problem has nothing to do with the antenna- it is the proximity sensor. What do you REALLY want from Apple?
I read the article of the FREE bumper giveaway that starts today and it claimed that everyone should already have their refunded money back if they bought with a CC.
I still havent received mine and I paid with a Debit card.
a few weeks ago i saw somebody who got a free bumber by complaining to apple. Supposedly it solves the problem. I went to the apple store and what they tell me is ridiculous. buy a bumper im NOT going to buy a piece of plastic that cost 60 cents to make in china. FU&K that. or Return the iphone. Thats out of the damn question i love the damn phone i spend hours waiting in line. So if anyone can help me find that free bumper people have been getting for the issue that would be great. Thanks for the help and sorry for the rant
Assuming you choose a bumper and not a third party case, which one will you get? I really like the white bumper on the black iPhone but I am not so sure about the black bumper on the white iphone. I think I will probably choose the white one as my free one and maybe buy the blue or orange. What about you guys?
Just an FYI for anyone still wondering on these ship times. My original order, placed the day they announced it, said it would not ship until the end of August. I just got an e-mail from Apple stating my order shipped, and will be delivered by August 3rd. Cool news, but I probably won't even use the thing as I don't appear to have any reception issues, and really like the look of the naked phone. The only real reason I'm thinking of using it, is to help protect the back a bit when setting it down on certain surfaces.
I will be going to Birmingham UK in September (currently I live in Germany) and I will be buying an iPhone 4 at the apple store there, I was just wondering how I could get my free bumper/case from Apple. Has anyone done this and how did you get your bumper.
Interested to see what the feeling is of people who will actually take Apple up on its offer, as someone who really doesn't experience the problem and have not had any dropped calls, etc, due to the "problem", and has already accumulated several cases ($.99 silicone cases from Ebay FTW), I really don't see the need to take apple up on its offer. Thoughts/Disagreements/Cheap shots?
When i try to update a free App i keep getting message box that Apple ID has been disabled. I have changed my password twice and when i view my apple id from the app store it accepts my new password but i still get the id disabled message when trying to update. Allso now when i try to log onto Safari it only goes to the i forgot log in screen to change my password. I changed the password and still dosen't work?
i dropped my Iphone 4, 2 weeks after i bought it, it accidentally got knocked out my hands. The back is completely shattered, and the front has 3 small cracks. As i am still under the year warrantee will apple fix it for free?
I broke the top of my iphones screen when i droped it about a foot down on concrete. I aslo saw that people said that you could go to a apple store and get it fixed for free? Is this true or what are some places where u can fix it cheap?
My apple id used to be connected with visa debit card, now the card isn't active anymore since I stopped funding it. I cannot download free apps using my apple id because it keeps on telling me that I should update payment method. I don't use any credit card anymore. There is no "NONE" option in the payment methods. What do I do now? i only want to get free apps and retain my current apple id bec i need it for updates.
I've bought a SIM-free S2 from Amazon but, upon reading up on the 4.0 software update I've learnt about the 'CSC' code. Apparently Sim-free phone should have XED or something similar.
Why is Apple requiring my date of birth in order to download free apps to my iPhone?Apparently this is a recent change in their policy.Who came up with this stupid idea?Obviously Apple just wants to uee my DOB for marketing purposes (or even worse to sell it to other companies).If I would have known that Apple would require my personal information I would have gotten an Android phone instead.
Has anyone been able to find any bumpers that are not black in any of the Apple stores in the NYC area? My phone is arriving sooner than expected (tomorrow) and I have no case for it. I'm hoping to pick up the Zagg Invisible shield and a bumper.Kind of want green or orange.
I have bought new iPhone 4s and I am trying to download some free apps on my iPhone but whenever I try To install a free app first it ask for my I'd and password which I enter and then it ask for I'd and password again To pay for a free app But why shall I pay it's free Every time same problem occurs whenever I try to download any free app?
I made a purchase for a black bumper and paid $31.60 but when I go to the Apple.com website to check the status of my refund its shows "There is no record of a refund for the receipt number you entered." I tried entering my receipt number plus last 4 of card and I also tried just entering the full CC number as well and get that response for both.
Just wanting to know if anyone has possibly experienced before, wanted to to see if any Macforum members have had this issue and what was the resolution to your issue? Should I just call Apple? Are they giving refunds in store if you take in your receipt?
