iPhone 4 Antenna Fail!

iPhone 4 was said that it was Apple's (quote) "... most successful product in Apple's History". What the consumers didn't realize was that they're purchasing a product that had (quote) "reception problems". Apple claims that their iPhone 4 was displaying bars that (quote) "were never real in the first place". Apple also claims that their iPhone was (quote) "... mistakingly displaying 2 more bars then it should for a given signal strength". In other words, if the device displays 4 bars, you really have 2.

"... gripping almost any mobile phone in certain ways will reduce its reception by 1 or more bars". Apple points out that other major phone manufacturers also have that very same issue. "But some users have reported that iPhone 4 can drop 4 or 5 bars when tightly held in a way which covers the black strip in the lower left corner of the metal band. This is a far bigger drop than normal, and as a result some have accused the iPhone 4 of having a faulty antenna design". What the F***? Sounds like Apple is trying to pin the blame on the consumer for the reception issues.

It's not the iPhone 4 itself people. Apple claims that the users of the iPhone 4's (quote) "most likely are in an area with a weak signal strength, but they don't know it because we are erroneously displaying 4 or 5 bars". What does this mean? It's not the iPhone itself. Its the area the user is in (duh). So move! But if you're living in an area that isn't covered well just yet... move anyways if you want better reception.
