I thought it odd when, from the very beginning, the iPhone 4 had bumpers. From the moment that the first leaked photos hit the streets, the phone was wrapped in a bumper. Now, the word on the street is that tomorrow, Apple’s going to announce free bumpers for all. Call me paranoid, but I’m sure they planned this all along. They made a sweet phone with antenna issues, but in the cut-throat world of cell phone design (where every cubic millimeter is vital to being successful) they decided it was better to go to market with antenna issues and use bumpers to cover their asses than to scrap the flawed design and start again.
