Many wonder if there is going to be an iPhone recall while they play with their new phones. An iPhone 4 recall is the anticipated subject of an Apple press conference scheduled for Friday. The antenna issues that the iPhone 4 has been having should be addressed at the very least. It is more likely that iPhone software updates can be announced. iPhone recall rumors caused, on Thursday, a drop within the Apple’s stock price. Post resource – Analysts doubt iPhone recall at upcoming Apple press conference by Personal Money Store.
Is the Apple press conference happening to announce a recall?
At the conference on Friday, it is unlikely there will be a recall announced just for wireless reception issues for the iPhone. Computerworld reports that some say Apple could announce a giveaway of a $ 29 Apple iPhone 4 Bumper case that has been proven to fix the iPhone reception problem. Some say the Apple press conference on Friday might be a nothing but a smokescreen to cover the iPhone reception problem, with no answers and no giveaways. The iPhone software update could be announced at the conference also. Macrumors said iOS 4.0.1 ships Thursday with a new signal strength indicator for the iPhone 4 that Apple first proposed as a solution to the iPhone antenna issue in a July 2 letter on its Web site.
Other phones benefit from iPhone antenna issue
The Motorola Droid X is launching the exact same day as the iPhone recall rumor. This can be a bad time for Apple to have iPhone 4 problems according to an analyst with Technology Business Research, Ken Hyers, which was reported by eWeek. Hyers said other smartphones running the Android OS have been getting great reviews. Those who aren’t loyal to Apple are increasingly buying them. But he went on to say that the iPhone 4 antenna issue is not severe enough to warrant a recall.
Individuals still buying iPhone 4
Since June 24, when the iPhone 4 came out, it has been selling quite frequently. Apple sold 1.7 million within the first three days. July 14th, Apple stock had dropped around 8 percent because of the issue. But demand for the iPhone 4 remains brisk. According to the Wall Street Journal. Retail shelves still have limited supplies.
