Apple boss eats humble pie over iPhone glitch

APPLE boss Steve Jobs admitted the company was “not perfect” as he announced iPhone 4 customers would receive free rubber cases in an attempt to fix problems with the handsets.

An internet campaign was launched following complaints about the so-called “death grip” – a phenomenon which could see the phone’s signal drop when grasped in the left hand.

But at a press conference at Apple’s base in Cupertino, California, yesterday Jobs promised iPhone 4 customers a free rubber case – which protects the phone’s in-built antenna and cures signal fade – or a full refund.
