After Apple hastily announced it would be holding a press conference about the iPhone 4 later today, we wanted to know what you, readers, were expecting. Was this going to be Apple, admitting it was wrong, and giving every iPhone 4 owner across the globe a new handset? Or is it likely to be a damage limitation exercise, pressed upon Jobs and his minions by a headstrong PR? We asked, and you answered…
Turns out most of you are cynical about the press conference. An overwhelming 52 per cent of you said that Apple’s press conference about the iPhone 4 was going to be nothing more than some scripted PR babble about the signal problems.
17 per cent of you said that you expected “hypnotism, followed by the news that the software fix HAS solved the problem”, meaning you were prepared to be told that Apple‘s iOS4.0.1 update that arrived yesterday has fixed everything, and now we’ll all get a reliably low signal display.
Few of you were hopeful about Apple making proper moves to correct its mistake, with only 13 per cent certain that we’ll see a recall announced today, and 12 per cent of you crossing your fingers for free bumper boxes.
One per cent of you may be delusional, and were decorating the spare room in anticipation of the free Apple-bot Jobs is going to be delivering to your house to help you hold your iPhone 4 at all times. Five per cent were prepared to watch Steve Jobs evil laughing at our gullibility for 20 minutes.
But now, we wait until California wakes up, and the world’s media once again trains its eyes on Cupertino. In the meantime though, was there an answer we didn’t include?
What are you expecting from today, now that the update has come through?
