According to
CNET, a class-action lawsuit over the iPhone 4's troublesome antenna, aka
Antennagate, has been settled. The planned resolution will net US residents who bought one and presumably either $15 in cash or (
another?) free bumper case.
CNET quotes co-lead counsel Ira Rothken (also the attorney for
Megaupload in its case) saying that he believes the settlement is "fair and reasonable", affecting some 25 million people who will be notified by email and through print ads in
USA Today and
Macworld. Once they've received the heads up, they can go to www.iPhone4Settlement.com (not up and running yet) to register their claims. When the issue first came to light back in 2010 Apple suggested
holding it differently before saying it would
tweak its signal display formulas and, eventually, offering the free cases. Hopefully for the company and its users, this resolution puts the issue -- which is
not a problem on the new 4S -- to bed. We haven't received any response from Apple regarding the case just yet but we'll let you know if we do.
