With all the commotion tied up with the new iPhone 4 and its antenna problem, the calls for Apple to recall the device, and the non-recommendation by Consumer Reports, are iPhone 4 owners really that put out by the issue?
Well apparently not over here in the UK they aren’t as according to Stuart Miles of Pocket-lint, they contacted O2 UK, Vodafone, Orange and even Carphone Warehouse and inquired if people were returning their iPhone 4 handsets.
The results of which seem to show that iPhone 4 users in the UK aren’t that bothered over the issue or even don’t believe there is a fault.
Apparently O2 UK has said that returns aren’t any more than usual and in line with expectations, while Vodafone says that returns of the iPhone 4 have been “tiny.” Orange didn’t come up with an official answer but Pocket-lint’s sources suggest it’s in the same strain as O2 and Vodafone.
Even Carphone Warehouse has said in terms of returns they’ve not seen anything out of the ordinary, and a spokesperson for Carphone Warehouse has said, “Trading have reported that there has not been an issue with the iPhone 4 and we aren’t seeing many returns at all, customers seem satisfied to wait for the software upgrade.”
Yes, this could be read that iPhone 4 users in the UK aren’t too bothered with the iPhone 4 reception issue, but then again it could mean that like many iPhone 4 users they are simply waiting for a response from Apple on a possible fix or have opted to purchase a case to get round the problem.
So have any of our iPhone 4 toting readers in the UK experienced the antenna problem and if so are you not bothered about it, have you purchased a case to get over the issue or are you waiting to see if Apple comes up with a proper fix?
