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...

    [deleted post]Lol ha ha it's like Ferraris are rubbish as a certain model has a fault that some people are experiencing! So no I don't agree at all that iPhones are rubbish! I have a 3GS and find signal strength in areas to be stronger that my previous NOKIA phones! I'm not gonna lie, signal issues on a phone is serious, as it defeats the object of a mobile phone. But 1) not all iPhone 4 owners are experiencing problems and 2) signal problems alone don't make the entire phone rubbish! If people don't get signal issues resolved then they should be entitled to a refund, but that don't make iPhones rubbish!!! Duh!!! Ha ha

      We are payed by the Government to help private citizens have the same rights of firepower as the companies so no one gets unfairly treated in Swedish society or gets stepped on by bigger dogs.

      I kinda took it upon myself to sometimes visit GSmarena on my free time and warn people against Apple products. We have so many cases against Apple and Office Store Sverige in Sweden it's not even funny. Also from my own experiences.

      Well now i need to sleep.. Goodnight.

But because of its popularity, it has become a status symbol to some communities, and they end up suffering for the consequences. It's like this person that I know who bought a luxury car and complain why he has to use premium gas and why is it so expensive to get an oil change, lol. I wanted to tell him "if you can afford premium gas and premium oil change, then you cannot really afford that luxury car" :)

There is no phone in world today that can hold a candle to the N900 with it's Maemo. I would call it the worlds fastest and smallest and most effective mini pc without a second thought. N900 is monster in every way. Symbian needs to die.

                    I enjoy the smooth responsiveness, its friendly interface, access to many apps that I have found very useful in my day to day activities, stable os, great web experience, excellent music playback, etc.  

                    But yes, if you are not happy with your iphone experience, I would suggest for you to switch to another phone.  But why bash? Hmmm, I think there's something more to this than meets the eye :)

                      With that said i still think the iPhone is better than Blackberry touchscreen phones, which are just horrible, but iPhone can't hold a candle to the brilliant fast and extremely competent Blackberry qwerty line up.

                              Iphone is jack of two trades...mini PC and Phone but too big for phone and and too small for PC....neither master of either! To invest so much money on designing this product and still $crew up a simple thing such as reception, this handset is RUBBISH! Buy a BASIC Nokia and makes better calls! Designed in US and Made in China with CHEAP LABOUR! You should be ASHAMED of yourselves APPLE! £499 for 16g you gotta be kidding me! I'm waiting for the Nokia N8 which will KICK A$$ og the Iphone4! It'll cost less with plenty of change and MORE FEATURES!

                                    I was speaking from own experience with my previously owned iPhone 3G. You can read my comment further down about it.

People who can't afford fancy cars or fancy clothes on a regular basis settle usually settles for the iPhone, which is very small investment for a social wannabe. People that can afford fancier things on a regular basis use something else, powerful men, corporate leaders, politicians and serious professionals use Blackberrys.
