Apple finds iPhone 4 signal bars misleading, hiding poor signal

02 July, 2010
Apple just issued their official statement on the non-existent iPhone 4 reception issues. What iPhone 4 users are experiencing when they grip the lower left corner is just their real signal, poor as it seems...

          Well after Steve Jobs twitted his favorite fruity berry yogurt delight flavor last Wednesday, some outlets now reported nil stock..
          So I say, yes they will fall for it.

                Lol.. I never mind throwing a laugh at them this time. Because I had enough of laugh in the past due to Apple's frivolous behavior and how THEY (Apple fanboys) are being treated like uneducated individuals. Didn't Apple get the idea that IT IS A HARDWARE FLAW rather than being a software issue?? So no matter how MAGICAL a firmware Apple will release, it will never improve the reception of the iPhone 4!..

                Now I see some problems in the future:
                1. iPhone 4 users will then blame their respective network carriers because their crappy iPhone4 is showing full signal yet the voice calls quality is dropping!

                You see guys, this is what Apple will do so that they will not be blamed on the reception issue: They will issue a firmware update for the iPhone that will show the iPhone user a full signal strength. And then, when poor signal problem occurs, the user will think that the problem is within their network carrier because their iPhone is showing them strong signal strength but then drop calls and low data transfers are occuring. In the end, it is still PURE HYPOCRISY FROM APPLE!

                  Apple can make a program to manipulate the bad signal. In reality you might be getting a bad signal but the program makes it so it look like you got perfect signal.

                        Ofcourse dropping calls is not a big deal besides no bluetooth file transfer/gorilla glass which shatters and smashes if the phone is dropped badly or 4 times from a normal height/dead phone after 2 drops from a normal height/video calls only on wifi and only between 2 iphone4 devices and a big lie about inventing the video calls/having to buy a case for hiding a big flaw in design and construction/probably being forced to change the phone if ios5 is introduced/you have to carry a specific computer with you to be able to transfer files or install apps on your phone all the time (itunes)/having an arrogant ceo who lies to people and considers them as a flock of sheeps and ........ are some of the flaws of a nearly 1000 usd phone.these are the main reasons which keeps most of the phone users from buying apple phones and selling even 10 million devices is not a big deal because other brand like nokia,samsung,motorolla and ... have sold more than a couple of 100 million phones untill apple reaches the point of 19 mil for iphone4 and other brands have not bragged about normal functions of their devices and take
                        them as a must for the money we pay

                              The only issue that's being pressed on really badly is the death grip, which in actuality is not a big deal. People buy cases for their iphones anyway, and with a case, that issue is non existent.

                                    Yes the software/firmware update can fix the issue. How? simple update the battery software to always show the (fake)full reception even the phone have really dropped it. smart move apple.good way to hide and fool ppl around the globe to make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

                                        No sane person in this world will tolerate such behaviour from a phone priced so high. Apple should be more carefull and responsible to their customers in future.
