Apple still has a choice of doing 1 of 2 things:

1) Dither around like they're doing now. Blame AT & T, the software, etc.

2) Acknowledge the issue. Offer a free piece of plastic to all users who want one. Their cost no more than $5 per phone. Most people won't bother because they'll get their own case.

Which do you think in the long term will be more beneficial to the company? To their user's loyalty?

Or if Google was really clever, they would create a green bumper to go on the iPhone with the text, "iPhone Reception Problems Fixed by Android."

Or if any company wanted cheap advertising, they would give away free bumpers with their name on it. HINT HINT. ;-)
