Apple Looks to Officially Close Antennagate on September 30
Do you like this story?
Apple has announced that it will stop sending out free iPhone 4 bumper cases on September 30, though it’s not stopping the program altogether.
In a message posted to its website on Friday, the company says “We now know that the iPhone 4 antenna attenuation issue is even smaller than we originally thought.”
Those qualifying for the iPhone 4 Case Program can currently use an app [iTunes link] to request a bumper. The iPhone must have been purchased after July 23 to acquire a case through the app. After September 30, it seems that the iPhone 4 Case app will be discontinued for new purchases.
If you plan on purchasing an iPhone 4 after September 30, you can still get a free bumper — you just have to call AppleCare.

Apple is still conceding that some users experience antenna problems and deserve a free bumper, but they’re no longer handing them out to just anyone. This doesn’t change much, but it is Cupertino’s way of saying that Antennagate is closed.
