Steve Jobs to iPhone 4 Owner: “Relax … It Is Just a Phone” - bronsonweltand

The iPhone 4 may change everything accordant to Apple's marketers, but to Steve Jobs, it's still just a phone.

At least that's what the chief executive of Apple reportedly advisable in e-mails to a customer, irate over his iPhone 4's tendency to recede reception when held in a way that covers the earphone's antenna. According to Boy Mavin Report, which claims to have the text of the e-mail exchange, Jobs fired the problems as "rumors," and told the customer, who became increasingly defeated with Jobs' responses, to "Calm down."

Apple reportedly reached out to the customer after he posted a YouTube video of the iPhone 4 losing its signal. Jobs and an Malus pumila organize assured the client that this was a non-outcome and asked him to closure uploading videos, BGR says. In the commutation that followed, the customer lost his nerve, at uncomparable spot effectual Jobs to cease with the "jackass comments."

"Pension off, relax, love your family. It is just a call," Jobs reportedly replied. "Not worth it."

I'm surprised that Jobs would use such language, relevant that I'm unbelieving of the e-mails' authenticity. Nonetheless, Apple Insider says a world onymous Jason Burford of Virginia, who runs a local video recording commercial byplay, shopped the convert around to the tech press, looking for money. BGR does not support that it paid for the tale, but says the site "verified the netmail headers and entropy," and believes the rally to be 100 percent legitimate.

If so, the e-mails show how Jobs' patience has run thin for iPhone 4 antenna stories. Officially, Apple insists that all phones lose reception when their antennas are white, and that the iPhone 4's metal frame, which houses the antenna, provides ameliorate reception than any iPhone yet. Those assurances seaport't stopped the Internet chatter, and now Apple faces multiple course of instruction action lawsuits over the antenna issue.

In that respect's even so trust that Apple will come up with a resolution, even as the fellowship denies in that respect's anything wrong with the phone. In the exchange posted by BGR, Jobs tells the customer to "Quell tuned. We are working happening it." That echoes some other Jobs netmail reportedly received by a MacRumors forumgoer. Whatever Apple decides to do, it probably won't take free bumper cases.
