Apple has announced that "the iPhone 4 antenna attenuation issue is even smaller than we originally thought" and so the company's free case offer to will lapse on September 30 as originally announced.

Potentially feeling the heat from questions over network performance, something Optus has stridently defended in an email to iTWire earlier today, Optus has decided to up its iPhone offering by being the first Aussie telco to confirm each iPhone 4 customer will get a free bumper - if they want one.

Apple has started accepting claims for a free iPhone 4 Bumper or case, but owners will need to start by downloading an app.

All smartphones suffer from reduced signal strength when held in particular ways, and the iPhone 4 is no exception, according to Apple CEO Steve Jobs. Few owners are reporting issues to Apple, and return rates are particularly low, he claimed. But Apple has decided to give all owners a free case as this may help ameliorate the issue.
