That is a very low act from Apple. As this article says.. how can you even dare mention a competitor in the official announcement with an attempt to pursuade people that the problem is not solely with Apple.
I don't think I've seen this before in history. That is a very low act.
The iPhone as we know it is synominous with the brand Apple and therefore,Apple alone should be solely accountable for their own issues. At the end of the day, Apple invested in the research and development, and testing of this design themselves,not with Motorola or RIM so Apple should be accountable for their own negligence and defective design.
This arrogant behaviour is absolutely disgusting to say the least.

it seems to me that the owners of the iphones think they are a cut above anyone else. I cant figure out why they have this complex..anybody can get one, there not exclusive,,' reception issues aside, . .you cant send blue tooth files..for me thats the deal breaker!!!!!!!..just proves it is only a fashion item..i cant figure that out either.

after Apple Blame customers in handling the Iphone 4 in wrong way.now apple fires another stupid statement that iOS posting misleading signal strength..
I wont be surprise in the next days.Apple will blame AT&T for having poor signal/reception thats way iphone 4 signal is behaving badly...
This is what u get from stealing Sum1s technologies.maybe they dnt used other companies patented technologies in iphone4 bcoz of shame now this is the result...
Companies like Nokia,Htc,Kodak and Adobe are now laughing at Apple..LoL..
This is what u get from being to Boastful and Arrogant..
Newi,they will be a software fix for this.it will show 5 bars signal strength even u have no reception and u wonder.no one is texting u or calling you.and u jaz know ur friends are tryng to contact u tru ur iphone 4 when they call u on ur landline phone.LMAO

You guys really have to get over this Jealousy argument.It doesnt hold Water.If we were Jealous that means we think the iphone is better, so we would just go out and purchase it.We already have expensive smartphones, so we have the money.Secondly if the iphone sells better then my phone, so what, it wont stop me from enjoying my own smartphone.This is an addictive internet site that people enjoy contraversy, thats all.

Nice article.. I work in a phone shop. I like the IPhone because it is easy to use, but dont own one myself and never planned to own one. Glad this issue has come to light and Apple are exposed. Now lets see if the American people treat apple in the same way as they have recently treated toyota and BP.. etc

Oh, so because you say it it's the truth? God complex perhaps...
The truth is that you (and your flock) don't want to admit that your beloved IPhone 4 have a poor design and Apple knew it and sold it to people like you anyway, you were used by Apple for a profit! THAT'S THE TRUTH.The truth is that if a device is well designed, you won't see a flaw like that! Period, and if you weren't an hypocrit, you'd comment especifically about that, but you didn't...
Do you know how i know that's the truth? Simple, because facts support what i'm saying but you can't, so sorry...
"All phones are tested, but none of them are bug free." SO they're not tested!!! That's tests are for man!!! LMAO.
Of course a flawless phone doesn't exist, but a PHONE WHICH DROP CALLS BECAUSE YOU USE IT WITH THE "WRONG HAND"?????? That's the first one.
Is it? "Really well"? Read the news you said? Well, i'm doing something much better than read the news, i live in Japan since 2005, and nope, IPhone never did it really well here, not now or ever!!! In fact people here think it's a "good" phone, but when they want a great phone they buy something like the SoftBank 945SH (Sharp) with a 12MP camera, waterprof and TV receiver! And that's just for start...
Yes, people went to Apple store, but just a couple of hundreds, maybe for somebody with a small mind that's plenty, but when you talk about a country were practicaly everybody have a cellphone, that's NOTHING!
The people complain about Apple behavior misleading people, like you, about the quality of the phone, nothing else.I used the IPhone 4 for a week (i won it in a cloth store near my house), and i still don't get what's the big deal with it, it's faaaaar from being amazing, so i sold it.
IPhone 4 have some nice features, i give you that, but nothing you can't have in other phones or nothing new, let's see:
- 5mp camera? Nokia N95 (the silver) had it, IN 2006!!!
- Video call? N95 had that too, but better because you can use it on regular 3G network, you don't need a WiFi connection, but that's a point Stevie forgot to enfatize...
- Scratch-resistant surface? That's a good one, after a couple of days in a pocket (search for pics) it's scratched, i know it because in a week the one i was using looked like a Humvee in Irak, and the only thing i carry my jacket pocket was a Parker pen.
That being said, you're very funny! LMAO.
Bye!

[deleted post]hey, device is a very broad statement. my nokia 6010 (that i am reduced to using after i threw my nokia n81 at a wall for it's bugs) has no bugs at all. it's many years old but yet it is a device. so technically there are MANY DEVICES that haven't any bugs. But if you are talking about or meant smart device or smartphone it's a whole different story:-)

[deleted post]You do realize that GSMArena is not based in the States, doesn't use AT&T, and they still experienced signal loss, as described in the review?

In order to verify Apple's claim that it is the signal strengh display is the issue, they need to test the iPhone 4 along with some other phone side by side on the same network and compare the results. If the iPhone 4 displays 5 bars while the other phone on the same network displays 2 bars and both drop to 1 bar or fewer when gripped, then we can see that it is an issue with the display and not with the actual signal. It would also help if you test both phones to see if both would drop calls.
I'm sure many can test this out. If you have an iPhone 4 that drops calls, perhaps you know someone who has a different phone, but on the same network. Just go to the spot where the iPhone 4 loses bars quickly and compare the signal strength indicator with the other phone.
