release. this comes the very same week consumer reports refused to recommend the iphone 4 to customers. they did tell potential smart phone customers a bumper sold by apple and which wraps around the entire phone eliminates most of that problem. so today will apple offer free bumpers to customers who have already purchased a phone? will apple apologize? or both. >> the antenna problem is not that great and the other problems all are consistent with other problems that happened with early iphones, the issue that is driving this is apple's missouri handling of the problem, their attempts to cover it up and mislead and that is what is driving a certain amount of frengzy with apple at the wrong side of that frenzy. >> reporter: yesterday to make matters worse new york senator charles shumer sent an open letter to steve jobs calling for a free fix to consumers and, i believe it is incumbent for apple to address this flaw in a transparent manner. the press couches is scheduled
