I feel like this is exactly how Apple responded to the whole iPhone 4 antenna problem: by not really mentioning it, acting as if there were no big issues, and then silently providing a fix. There seems to be a pattern here.
The really amusing thing to come out of the whole 'antennae-gate' issue was Apple's messages: when launching the iPhone 4, it was revolutionary (again), but when problems emerge, it's just like every other smartphone. Cracks in the reality distortion field, methinks.
