Apple Starting To Issue Refunds For iPhone 4 Bumpers

ADVERTISEMENTS

Apple announced during the press conference addressing the iPhone 4 antenna issues that not only will free bumpers or third party cases be given to iPhone 4 owners, but those that have already purchased one would be issued a refund.

Steve Jobs mentioned it would take a little while to get the program up and running. While it doesn’t appear you are able to get your hands on your free bumper or case yet, today it appears Apple has started processing refunds for bumpers already purchased by iPhone 4 users.

The process is completely automated, thus you shouldn’t have to do anything to get your refund. Also, the announcement (image above) noted that all VAT and shipping charges will also be refunded. Those who made their purchase with a credit card should receive their refund within 3-5 business days.

  • Making steps to refund cases wont make up for the lack of function over form.

    It’s a shame to see so many issues with the iPhone 4 after so many people waited for it’s release. What’s more of a shame is that it seems Apple knew about some of these issues already, such as the problem with reception.

    If a brand new company brought out a product and then told you needed to pay a further £25 to make it work properly, you wouldn’t bother. But Apple have created such a loyal following that people may just put up with what issues there are for the sake of owning the latest Apple product. Personally, I’d be happier with an older iPhone – at least then the issues are all ironed out.

    However, it’s also interesting to see how much excitement new technologies can bring. New technology and innovation is important for new business, illustrated by entrepreneurship grants and new business competitions like http://www.ukesnc.com.

    Guess it’s not all bad!
