Anyone who buys an iPhone 4 through Sept. 30 will get a free “bumper,” a rubber-and-plastic band that wraps around the phone. Customers who have already purchased a bumper will get a refund. AT&T Inc. (T) subscribers who want to return the device can get a full refund and get out of their contracts without penalties.
An AT&T spokesman said the company supports Apple’s move to provide a free bumper and said it would waive the restocking fees for returned iPhone 4s.
