In an effort to somehow remedy the situation, Apple has released a new version of iOS 4 software which the company claims will fix the way the device displays signal strength display and offered all customers with plastic bumpers to solve the “death grip” issue. Tech site MacRumors reports that during the companys emergeny press conference yesterday, Apple CEO Steve Jobs outlined the three steps the company has taken to address the iPhone 4 issues:

• iOS 4.0.1 fixes the signal strength display issue by recalibrating the “bars” displayed, and all customers should apply the software update.
• Apple will provide all iPhone 4 customers who purchase their phones by September 30th a free case. Customers will be able to choose from Apple’s own bumpers, as well as third-party cases sourced from other vendors. Customers who have already purchased a bumper can receive a refund. Apple’s site will begin taking orders for the free cases beginning late next week, and the company will re-revaluate the case situation as it gets closer to the September deadline.
• Any customer who is still unhappy with their iPhone 4 can return it, provided it is undamaged, within 30 days of purchase with no restocking fee charged.
