No software update can fix a hardware fault unless you are tokin about transformer like half robot, half alive being with AI tat can carry out modification themselves...tat something we noe even b4 the press conference. For those who seriously believe a SW update can solve de problem...bless you....
To most end user, we are only interested in whether de reception is acceptable and in this case, it isn't. What next? recall? provide free casing? tat about de only choice apple have. Recall will be too costly but have to be done if apple admit it's an engineering fault at their end.
De only thing left to do is to deny any engineering defect but provide out of good will, a free casing if you are affected or even a full refund if you ain't happy.
Frankly...outcome of this press conference is highly predictable..
