Apple has held true to their word on offering customers plagued with iPhone 4 antenna issues with free bumpers. But that moment of free cases to ail your reception woes is soon coming to an end. That free period shuts down on September 30th and any i4 sold after it will be subject to Apple’s normal return policy. Anyone still having reception issues after the 30th, you should contact AppleCare for further assistance. Check out Apple’s statement below the break:
We now know that the iPhone 4 antenna attenuation issue is even smaller than we originally thought. A small percentage of iPhone 4 users need a case, and we want to continue providing them a Bumper case for free. For everyone else, we are discontinuing the free case program on all iPhone 4s sold after September 30, 2010. We are also returning to our normal returns policy for all iPhone 4s sold after September 30. Users experiencing antenna issues should call AppleCare to request a free Bumper case.
