The iPhone 4 Apple Press Event metaliveblog

Wow, I just read most of the metalive blog and it seems to me that this team was getting a bit testy with each other at times... indeed, Victor seemed quite pissed. There was bile all over my monitor, LOL. I hope you guys can all still be friends after that one.

Good for Apple, they are in the big leagues, I am glad they stood up for themselves.

Is there any any news of an update for 3G owners who are suffering speed issues after updating to iOS4?

I tried asking on the live feed app but it won't register?

I think its reasonable to assume that Apple desires to have both the antenna and the proximity sensor issues resolved before the end of the September deadline of free bumper cases. So my comment would be if you're considering buying an iPhone 4 and are concerned about either issue, then perhaps try to wait until then before buying an iPhone.

My two cents? I'm only having proximity sensor issues with my iPhone 4.

I just wish he would stop referring to his CUSTOMERS as USERS. I've worked in IT customer service for many years. One thing you learn earlier on is that the way you interact with your customers is a reflection of how you feel about them. We're USERS? Hold on. Its my MONEY that keeps his company floating on top of the food chain. We're CUSTOMERS, not USERS. He never once THANKED anyone for their patience or continuing to be their [repeat] CUSTOMERS.

The other thing he doesn't recognize is that when an issue is known to have been reported, many people will chalk it up to, "they already know about it so I don't have to tell them". So the rate of return and the rate of reports to applecare are not truly reflective of the size of the problem. I've seen a change (for the worse) since replacing my 3GS with the iPhone4. But I know the problems are well known and didn't bother wasting my time on hold for AppleCare. Geniuses? My experience has been that they aren't quite 'geniuses'.

I watched Engadget but I'm commenting here:

Apple nailed it.

"Victor Agreda Jr: Free cases, folks. Now I just have to spray my jeans pockets with Teflon :-/"

Gets a free solution and still bitches. No pleasing some entitled assholes.

sorry guys, but engadget is doing a better, cleaner job blogging. Hard to get to the see just the press conference comments without all the other nonsense comments in between here. Please rethink your blogging strategy for live events.

I don't know about everyone else, but I find these metaliveblogs very confusing. You have multiple people posting to the blog, which isn't all that bad -- but when Erica posts what's going on and then later posts almost identical information (citing a different blog as a source) it seems out-of-order and very confusing.

Is there any reason why we're not just getting one linear feed from Erica (with no repeated content clips from other sources)?

Just my $0.02.

We first saw this phone because it was "Dropped in a Bar"...now we have drop in bars

I think that's a good enough reason to never pay for Erica's app store or Cydia apps, right?
