Now that the dust has settled and it’s confirmed that the  iPhone 4 does in fact hate left handed people, it looks like the boys and girls at Cupertino are seeking out a few good engineers in an attempt to remedy the signal issue.
The only question that remains is whether Apple is seeking them to fix the ever so popular iPhone 4 or in order to keep this issue from reappearing in iPhone 4G (as that is what it will probably be called in 2011).
According to a memo leaked to Boy Genius Report, Apple is reportedly telling its sales representatives to deny that there really is not an issue with the iPhone 4, and to NOT (under any circumstances) give customers a free bumper to soothe their aching souls.
Despite the fact that Apple does not want to hand out freebie’s (after all, those bumpers are not cheap!!), Apple may eventually have to give the iMasses what they want lest their be a mass defection towards Android (which would please Google dearly).
Even though a free bumper would easily quench the complaints of the iMasses (hint, hint Steve Jobs!!), Apple may want to consider resolving this PR nightmare as soon as possible before Microsoft unveils Windows 7 Mobile to the world.
