2010/07/03 - "안테나 문제로 인해서 발생이 지속되는 경우 30일 이내 환불"
안테나 감도 레벨 표시에 오류라네요...
손의 위치 문제가 아니라고 원래 수신이 안 좋은 지역에서 만의 문제라고 ...
이것도 애플의 노림수인가요? (맞다. 판다지일 수 있을 것 이다.)
본인도 경쟁 관계에 있는 업체를 헐뜯었던 다소 멍청한 때가 있었다.
다른 회사가 정책에 대해서 문제삼은 경우가 있는데 분명한 Fact가 없이도 그랬을때가 있었다.
(정말 어렸었고 어리석었을때라고 생각한다.)
그럴때마다 ... "그럴수록 악영향이 우리한테 온다."라는 다소 지혜로운 말을 했던 사람이 있다.
"국내 자동차 시장에는 현대만 살아 남고 기아나 대우는 죽어야 하는데 ...
시장은 그렇지 않다. 그렇게 아둥바둥한다고 달라질 것은 없고 우리가 더 노력해서 좋은 위치에
오르고 지금 우리도 문제가 있는 부분을 보강을 해야 할때다" 라는 말 ... 갑자기 생각난다.
시장의 파이가 정해져있는 휴대폰 시장 ... 그래도, 경쟁은 날로 치열하고 ...
후발주자가 선두에 서게 되는 형국 ... 소비자가 이런 것도 신경써야 하는 세상이다.
재미있다.
Dear iPhone 4 Users,
The iPhone 4 has been the most successful product launch in Apple’s history. It has been judged by reviewers around the world to be the best smartphone ever, and users have told us that they love it. So we were surprised when we read reports of reception problems, and we immediately began investigating them. Here is what we have learned.
To start with, gripping almost any mobile phone in certain ways will reduce its reception by 1 or more bars. This is true of iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, as well as many Droid, Nokia and RIM phones. But some users have reported that iPhone 4 can drop 4 or 5 bars when tightly held in a way which covers the black strip in the lower left corner of the metal band. This is a far bigger drop than normal, and as a result some have accused the iPhone 4 of having a faulty antenna design.
At the same time, we continue to read articles and receive hundreds of emails from users saying that iPhone 4 reception is better than the iPhone 3GS. They are delighted. This matches our own experience and testing. What can explain all of this?
We have discovered the cause of this dramatic drop in bars, and it is both simple and surprising.
Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars. Users observing a drop of several bars when they grip their iPhone in a certain way are most likely in an area with very weak signal strength, but they don’t know it because we are erroneously displaying 4 or 5 bars. Their big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place.
To fix this, we are adopting AT&T’s recently recommended formula for calculating how many bars to display for a given signal strength. The real signal strength remains the same, but the iPhone’s bars will report it far more accurately, providing users a much better indication of the reception they will get in a given area. We are also making bars 1, 2 and 3 a bit taller so they will be easier to see.
We will issue a free software update within a few weeks that incorporates the corrected formula. Since this mistake has been present since the original iPhone, this software update will also be available for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G.
We have gone back to our labs and retested everything, and the results are the same— the iPhone 4’s wireless performance is the best we have ever shipped. For the vast majority of users who have not been troubled by this issue, this software update will only make your bars more accurate. For those who have had concerns, we apologize for any anxiety we may have caused.
As a reminder, if you are not fully satisfied, you can return your undamaged iPhone to any Apple Retail Store or the online Apple Store within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
We hope you love the iPhone 4 as much as we do.
Thank you for your patience and support.
Apple
