Apple is now sending out invites to gadget blog publications and the like, all alerting us to get off our desks and head over to San Francisco, September 1st at 10AM PT / 1PM ET. Why? Accoridng to the photo above and everything else we know about this, it’ll be a ‘special event’ dedicated to music.
At the moment I expect a new iPod Touch, the new Apple TV, and finally a ‘one mooore thing’. The beginning of next month is only 12 days away, so now we wait. Eagerly.
So that hard make to make iPhone 4, eh? End of the month, in “limited quantities” Steve Jobs mentioned today at 4 Infinite Loop, California, where we were told all iPhone 4 owners get a free bumper case. By the way, I know what you’re thinking. eBay. Rare White iPhone 4. Sold.
So here’s the deal: free bumper cases for iPhone 4, Apple can’t produce enough of these things, so you’ll have to select between a variety of bumpers and cases, and you can apply online next week. Anyone who previously purchased an iPhone 4 bumper case gets refunded.
This is a hit to Apple’s coffers, but also a hit to the iPhone 4: in order for it to work, you need to put a colorful rubberband around it. Alas, at least it’s free.
I have a feeling everyone will have a bumper case around their iPhone 4 now. Albeit that’ll greatly annoy tech enthusiasts like me who find adding Chinese plastic to an expensive gadget distasteful. Oh well.
So here’s the deal:
Oh, and white iPhone 4 ships at the end of the month. A full post about this will come on LaptopMemo later today.

So in a whip of news in today’s cycle (I’ve been busy all day y’know, with other gadgets), iOS 4.1 just got the go to the official dev channels at Apple’s website (developer.apple.com), which brings plenty of bug fixes, the Game Center (which has yet to launch), and interestingly that “signal bar fix”, which falsely according to Apple at this point fixes the death grip issue. The trick here is that even a single bar of service doesn’t look so bad — due to all bars now being taller, as seen below. This won’t work on me, Steve Jobs and Cupertino! Via: BGR
So what’s this, eh? A touchscreen that measures 3cm (1.18 inches)!? Perhaps it is for the iWatch, or a new iPod Nano? Or maybe for a new iPod Shuffle? Whatever it might be, the source of the photo is Taiwanese site Apple.pro, which leaked out the white iPhone 4 and the new Unibody Macbook Pro, so at least we might be looking at something real here.

So, in the latest part on Apple’s take of the iPhone 4′s ability to not get calls and use data due to the faulty antenna issue when it gets into contact with human flesh, they’re claiming that the issue is simply an incorrect signal reading, which would be a possible explanation to the “dramatic drop in [signal] bars”. So far, they’re promising that software update will be the answer, and they fix it. As they say in Futurama, “Fixitfixitfixitfixitfixit”!
Apple’s letter to iPhone4 users about this issue is after the break.

The iPhone 4, an amazing piece of technology is plagued by that nasty antenna issue where if you simply hold the phone “the wrong way” as Steve Jobs puts it, you lose your connection. The real issue is actually the design, and the Apple Bumper Case which is essentially a plastic rubber-band fixes that. And that’s for $30 (which is frankly ridiculous). Enter Oliver Nelson from the iPhone Guru. Simply take your favorite charity wrist band that you find for $1 (or Neil Armstrong’s) with the measurements of “about 1.125-inches long and about 0.125-inches wide”, cut a few holes for the ports, and voila! Instant solution. Problem solved, for no more than a dollar.

So, what goes with the quirky title of this story? At this point, that’sall I can think of. In internal docs Apple is telling its AppleCare employees to smooth over the antenna and reception problems with customers, as well as not providing them bumper cases for free, in ALL CAPS (see here).
In the meantime Apple is looking for eight experienced antenna dudes who would work on the iPhone and iPad, as well as manufacturing experience and in total being in the industry for more than 10 years. Probably Apple wants to make sure the iPhone 5 (or 4G) will be held anyway you want, so it is more revolutionary.
Go figures then. ;)
