images/news/apple.jpgApple is calling a special press conference on this coming Friday to talk about the iPhone 4. Yes, you can probably guess what this is about.
The big question that everyone must be wondering is if Apple will announce a recall of the iPhone 4 based on the antenna problems — which are very real. I still believe that’s pretty unlikely. That said, it’s very, very, very rare (in fact, I don’t think it has ever happened) that Apple would call a special press conference at the last second. If they didn’t have something very major to say, they’d much more likely issue a release.
But with all the talk and speculation flying around out there, perhaps Apple (and CEO Steve Jobs in particular) just wants to sit people down to talk about the issue. Apple has been widely criticized for saying basically nothing about the issue beyond Jobs’ quotes that users should buy a case or hold the phone different.
Apple seems to think the antenna issue is really a "non issue", which might be in a calm controlled environment, but what if it were an emergency situation where a non experienced user or child needed to call emergency services using iPhone 4? That "non issue could then be a matter of life or death
