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...

The only people that should be commenting on apple's products are owners of those products, retailers, etc. But all companies lie or refuse to accept that they've made a mistake or their product has a flaw. No one single phone is for everyone and people should understand and respect that. I personally am loyal to no one company, brand, manufacturer etc. I purchase a new phone every 6 months to a year and I buy a phone that suits my life style and especially my needs.

              [deleted post]Heartbreak Kid, we are just pointing out the obvious shortcomings of the phone so it seems like you become defensive and label all of us as iPhone haters. I for one consider the iPhone aesthetically pleasing to look at with its newer design and materials used. On the other hand, that is the only major selling point for this device. It would be great if you can explain why other handsets to be inferior. Instead of thinking in black and white, please try to think in shades of gray. In terms of affording this phone, some of us have the necessary funds but still can't justify the lofty price. Having said all that, you can treasure your pretentious iPhone and I will enjoy the Samsung Wave once it arrives in Toronto. Cheers! :)

                  To get a sense of perspectivity, let's have a look at the legendary N95.

                  N95. V10 Firmware.

                  Wobbly Slider
                  Light leakage
                  Number pad becoming loose
                  No Multitasking (not enough RAM)
                  GPS draining battery
                  Hissing when making calls
                  Crashing OS/Restarts
                  Select button didnt work all the time.
                  Camera taking tinted photos.

                  You see what I did there?

                    Because it doesn't take another perfect phone to know this. You're such a goalpost mover.

                        You know what has a personal impact on my life? Reception issues and dropped calls. Good thing they haven't popped up on my phone.

                          And if it isn't sorted Apple can always blame the alignment of the stars in the sky for the problem or global warming

                            Anonymous, 02 Jul 2010I may not be a good person but you and the whole apple crew... moreLiars?  Again, give me a perfect device.  Where is that perfect device that I am asking from you?  

                            How can you accuse Apple of lying when you cannot give me a problem free, bug free, perfect device yourself.  

                            Lawsuits are common against multi billion corporations like Apple.  Law firms see them as gold mines.  Hoping that Apple will offer to pay them even when Apple is innocent just so bad publicity can be avoided.

                            You know what lying and deception is.  It is when some hater creates a fake Steve Jobs account and make an announcement of an iphone4 recall.  It is when a hater releases a fake email dialogue making Apple look arrogant and uncaring.  That's what lying and deception is :)

                                      They might have dropped the ball with the iphone 4 but, seriously, how many times have Nokia done the same?

                                        'iPhone haters', but one thing I think u have to admit that a mere software patch will never going to solve this techo glitch. Jobs should accept the design error and recall the product.
                                        I don't know u r using the iPhone4 or not but my brother is really suffering from drop-calls and no-signals. And he is hoping against Hopes!
