iPhone 4: new antenna redesign “later this year” ?
I was talking with a Nike representative the other day about this whole antennagate story and he gave me an opinion I haven’t been thinking about. Bear in mind his was only a guess (I wonder if it was his guess or some collegue who gave him the idea). He though that the iPhone 4 wasn’t ready for the market yet, but because of the whole incident with the lost prototype that lead to the early reveal of the phone by Gizmodo, Apple had to release it before, even knowing that they were risking problems. This theory would explain a couple things: why there is such a big shortage of black models after more than a month release; Why haven’t they still managed to release the white one, citing certain manufacturing problems (shouldn’t they have solved these issues before the release?); And why haven’t they still announced an official release date in the other promised countries after Steve Jobs said, during the keynote, mid-July? I think at lest two of these issues would have been resolved if the phone was really ready for market, and that this has nothing to do with the “unexpected” success the iPhone 4 is having.
Also, what’s going to happen on September the 30th when the free bumper campaign will end? Will we see a white iPhone finally? And most important, will we see a revision 2 of the iPhone 4 with a new antenna redesign?
This theory is interesting and makes this antennagate story more and more entertaining :) Stay tuned…
