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 two arguments isheep use are:
1. you have never used an iphone/you cant afford it
2. iphone is the best because we were told so

    Apple won´t fix the problem with a software update, because its something physical, it´s a design flaw, so good luck updating. That´s just a trick from Apple to gain some time to sell more phones before someone sue them.

      You know, the only thing I am really wondering about now is wasn't there at least ONE designer/engineer/architect/whoever with at least basic knowledge of physics to foresee this problem/design flaw?

        [deleted post]I totally agree mate. I own a 3GS but admire Apple as a brand. It's the actual users who have to deal with issues, not these muppet haters.

        The person who wrote this article is clearly an iPhone hater! GSMArena have never written an article with such bitterness before. It's like the person who wrote it wants to stir up hatred. Pathetic!

            The sad fact about this entire comments section is that 99% have never experienced using an iphone for a length of time and are just posting to bash Apple. :))))

            That makes their viewpoints utterly irrelevant, don't you think?

                      i dont get this
                      first they say youre holding it wrong if youre holding it with your left hand
                      now they say that's the right was to hold it

                      they actually say you need to hold the phone the "wrong" way all the time to see how much signal do you have
                      but if you hold it the right way... or what they say is wrong...

                      oh my God...
                      facepalm

                          Really all apple has to do was to make the 3GS have a better camera with flash bit better processor and alot better bluetooth. i'd been happy then. but instead they try this witch failed....

                            Lol at NOKIA n Samsung lovers coming here to moan at Apple n slate iPhone owners. The fact of the matter is these haters have crap handsets n as the iPhone is better than their bug ridden Nokias or there below standard 40th Samsung handset that Samsung have released in one week, which will obviously drop in value n become just another crap Samsung phone. Most iPhone 4 owners are happy with their phones, there are obviously people with signal issues who can get a refund or wait for an update. Apple clearly need to be given a chance to prove what they are saying. In the meantime NOKIA lovers keep going on about the N8, which we all know will be another NOKIA failure!!!! Ha ha

                                  Come on, i bet Apple knew about this a long time ago, but they prefer to apologize rather than fix the problems before releasing a product, they know there are a lot of "fans" who will buy anything they launch just because it has an Apple logo. I´m not an Apple hater i have an Ipod Touch wich i´m happy with, this reaction from the peopple would´ve been the same if they had another very expensive article that doesn´t work properly.

                                  Shame on Apple that doesn´t take the responsability fo their actions.

                                      Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong.

                                      hilarious :)
