"Mithical" is a personal blog, which means you won't find a consistent amount of just one thing but a wide variety of content posted here ranging from personal posts, photography, quotes, illustrations, social media news and technology, along with a mix of things that signify certain traits about my personality or mood at the moment.
Own an iPhone 4? You just won a settlement you didn’t even know you were part of!
How? It’s simple. When the iPhone 4 came out in 2010, it was designed so beautifully that Apple thought they would save hardware space by creating an antenna that also acts as the outer metal border of your phone. What Jobs and the rest of the Apple crew didn’t know was that it would lead to a dropping-bars antenna issue dubbed “antennagate.”
Now, don’t get too excited. As you should be aware of, the lawyers get most of the money from these things, however you did win something—small, but something. Once the site http://iphone4Settlement.com goes live, apparently you will have the option to pick either a bumper case (which is meant to stop the antenna problem and was issued for free by Apple when the issues attracted attention in 2010) or $15.
Personally having owned a bumper case, I would go with the cash. The bumper case has been known to stop the antenna issues and keep your iPhone bulky case-free but it will start scratching and discoloring the side of the iPhone. Trust me.
I also own an iPhone 4 but it seems I will not be eligible for the settlement if reports from Mashable are true. They mention that people who took advantage of the bumper case giveaway by Apple in 2010 may have void the chance of getting a new one or the cash.
Well, I guess there’s nothing else I can do but if you didn’t take advantage before, better do it now!
