    Signal bar on iPhone or on any other phone can be adjust only changing the display/screen it fixed manufactured with several line on the display but you can't manipulated that with only software update ... it just self public opinion matter that iPhone already set a softwar for that so people " Believe" that their phone it fine now...without any actual science and technology proof

      what's really sad about this situation are the Apple fans willing to defend Apple's faults and the way Steve Jobs is covering it all up.

                          Jobs just admitted there was a problem, and said that Apple will give full refunds to anyone who is disappointed with it. Also, throwing in bumpers is good business as it shows that he's not "distracting" people from the problem, he is solving it.

                          Read the live twitter account, and you'll see that you are wrong.

                              Jobs has also said what a lot of people believe.

                              The antennagate scandal has been blown way out of proportion. Not that many people are actually experiencing problems. It doesn't help on here that the ihaters make things up about people being next to antennas and still losing signal (lol), and I suspect most of the complaints are coming from those on AT&T (who are simply awful)

                                    WTF!? Haha.. Dude, it's a receiver for gods sake, it's a 3G radio antenna, it either works and you have reception or it don't. It's not a speaker or earphone membrane where the elastic titan rubber needs to soften up cause it's streched tight.

                                    It's like if you buy a radio or digital Tv receiver, come home, start it up at there is no reception, do you think you need to warm up the radio or the Tv receiver first for a couple of months before it works? HAHA!! Wtf!?

                                    Like a someone else said, i just love the way you say "Remember what Steve Jobs said" ... LOL.. fu**ing hilarious!

                                        Jobs has promised a free bumper case for every iphone 4.0 owner, and will refund within 30 days of purchase anyone not satisfied. And 0.55% of owners have complained about the antenna issue.

                                        Oops. Shares just went up for Apple. Sorry ihaters, Apple will not be going bust over this. :)
