iPhone 4 Loses Reception When You Hold It By The Antenna Band?
lol it's gizmodo. I wouldn't trust anything they said. They are still upset because Jobs didn't invite them to wwdc.
The are just reporting what is being reported to them. I can replicate this on 5 iPhone 4's that we got at the office today for myself and 4 other employees. I seems legit. Some are saying not all phones are impacted, but I've not seen that reported. Right now its 100% at least in my experience! LOL
I don't want to blow this out of proportion though, so I say test yours yourself and see if you can verify it.
I won't have mine until tomorrow, but I'm optimistic that the problem isn't wide spread, and if it is, apple will take care of it.
Since I am able to take a cloth a put it between my hand and the aluminum antenna band and the reception remains perfect. I am glad I ordered those black bumpers, that still have not shipped!
I have little doubt that Apple will take care of this issue.
I'm glad it doesn't affect everyone. Honestly I think if it was really wide spread there would be more people on here talking about it. Sucks it happened to you though. How is it doing besides the reception issue?
I'm pretty sure apple wouldn't release a device with a huge flaw like that, seeing as the only practical way to hold the phone would put your hand in contact with the band. S. Jobs def wouldn't have bragged about the antenna if it had this issue. if by the small chance apple would put out Iphone 4 with this downfall just buy a skin and problem solved.
just did a little reading guys, i'm currently eating my words lol. guess i'll be ordering a bumper or skin.
Well who would have thought?
I have the black bumpers on order, that I ordered when I ordered my iPhone 4. My plan is to put the Invisible Shield on it and then use the bumpers. I got the Invisible Shield already. I guess I am going to go ahead and put it on tonight. See if that helps at all.
The price we pay for being early adopters eh? hehehe
