I can hear the bar conversations now as iFanboys discover this new "feature".

"Hey baby... the rivots in my pants are transmitting bluetooth. You want to check out my radio tower?"

Glad to see there's a simple fix for it, but it's going to be a black eye for Apple for a while. To have missed such a common-use issue will make the heard itchy for a bit about buying iTech. I'm sure it will be long forgotten by time the iPhone 5 comes out though.

I'm willing to bet that their solution will be to offer a coupon for a free bumper to every iPhone 4 purchaser. Small price to pay for the good PR it will generate, and if there's one thing Apple knows how to do, it's PR.
