Apple sends checks to those affected by the antenna problem in the iPhone 4

antennagate check

The subject seemed almost forgotten but these days it resurfaces again. We have not heard from the Apple blunder on iPhone 4, internationally known as «antennagate«. We remember that the first 4 iPhones that went on sale had a design problem: every time we grabbed the terminal to talk on the phone, the operator's signal disappeared.

Apple had a hard time admitting its mistake but eventually Steve Jobs admitted the problem and decided to compensate customers with a free bumper that ended the failure. This gesture by Apple did not prevent a series of US citizens will sue the company for misleading advertising, since Apple claimed that the iPhone 4 offered its users a high quality of voice during calls.

Apple's legal team decided to settle before moving on to a trial that could have taken too long and could have led to even worse consequences. The Cupertino company decided to pay $ 53 million in compensation for the failure. Those US citizens who were subsequently added to the lawsuit were entitled to receive $ 15 in financial compensation.

Well, the story comes to an end: the first iPhone 4 customers in the United States are reporting this week that they have started receive your checks from Cupertino, signed this month from Apple's headquarters in California.

    There will be no lack of the fanboy who returns the check and in fact apologizes to Apple for not having bought more iPhones to improve their actions in the market.
