    I think that the iphone 4 is cursed and the yellow spots represent the blood of the spirits within-thats according to the new unreleased final fantasy movie storyline, "Spirits within the Iphone Part 4"

              one mess. poster took a positive stance on the ant. issue and called it a built-in feature that could be used to drop unwanted calls to people that you don't want to speak to. another poster called it another secret appl patent called "human ant." that you will be able to use your body as the ant. and when you approach the dedication level of i-steve you will be able to sync your body as the human ant. and use your brain to see the 3g/4g code directly. Holy iphone....all hail isteve, our god and saviour. we will all follow you to the end and do whatever you say as you have brain washed us all so well

                  jay, 25 Jun 2010who knows if it is a negative publicity against iphone 4??... moreI have seen many many videos that showing this same problem, People even tested and post videos from older iPhone. It seems design defect.

                  Apple said something over it:

                  "Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone. If you ever experience this on your iPhone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases."

                  I had to cover my entire phone with both hands squeezed over to get rid of couple of bars. But well I have a phone that is known for having one of most powerful reception.

                          Anonymous, 25 Jun 2010Apple says you're holding it the wrong way. Daaaaaang. Haha... moreLol, so now Apple or Jobs will tell us how to hold our cellphones? THere is the "Right" way to hold it just because they made a blunder in their design! I have been holding phones before I could hold my own "thing" and no mater how I hold my "real" mobile phone, it works without dropping the signals.
