CUPERTINO, Calif. -- Apple Inc. will give free protective cases to buyers of iPhone 4 to alleviate the "death grip" problem in which holding the phone with a bare hand can muffle the wireless signal. Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the giveaway Friday during a news conference, even as APPLE denied the phone has a problem that needs fixing. The more than 3 million people who bought the iPhone 4 and new buyers through Sept. 30 will all be eligible. People who already purchased the $29 "Bumper" cases will be refunded.
