Apple Defends iPhone Antenna, Offers Free Cases

I'm kinda shocked they are going to give free cases. 😲 That was my suggestion when this story first broke, plus the fact that they are going refund those that already purchased bumpers.

Not sure if it is was the whole Consumer Reports story that made them change their tune but non the less this is a least a fix. I though we might see them mention something about a new coating that will be used in manufacturing for those that want to leave the phone "stock" instead of using the bumper but maybe that is being done behind the scenes.

Much better solution than "Your holding it wrong" and "Every phones does that". Just swallow your pride and make the customer happy which is what they did!
