The iPhone 4 was launched in the USA last month but customers complained that phone calls got dropped when they gripped the phone in a particular manner. In response to this complaint Apple gave away free rubber cases to those customers who had complained about this problem. The company stated that this would improve the reception problems that the users were facing with the new phone. Apple stated that the reception would improve when the phone would be released in Canada and 17 other nations.

Despite the above reception rumors Apple has successfully sold around 3.5 million handsets in the country till date. The new phone is being offered with the free rubber cases that will give the consumer no reason to complain about the new phone. Consumers also have the alternative of buying another version of the phone that is unlocked and a contract free version. By the end of September 2010 the Apple iPhone 4 will be available to 88 countries in the world.
