Apple gets all defensive, free iPhone 4 cases for everyone

16 July, 2010
Apple just finished off its press conference dedicated on the iPhone 4 reception issues leaving us quite puzzled, to say the least. At one point Steve Jobs was saying that every phone has a weak spot, then he...

              [deleted post]You could download Fring and videocall over 3G, you know, like you do with other phones.

              Did you know that you can switch from a normal call over a phone network (paying for it) to a facetime call over WiFi (not paying for it), pretty cool huh?

See how biased you are? You're totally fine for everyone to attack Apple on a widespread issue among all phones, but you don't like it when Apple reveals that it is a fact of life with all cell phones.

                          When i started holding the phone properly i get full signal now.

                          The whole drop in signal is just a load of lies and Apple really didn't need to say anything

                            anon, 17 Jul 2010can you post a video of E71 losing 5 bars as u claim (joke/lie). Anon,

                            Here is a video of the signal issues with the Nokia E71, it was common knowledge some time ago among E71 users...

                            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8VJgv294Zs

                            There are more videos available on YouTube on the same problem with the E71, you can do a search on YouTube...

                            The problem is that the E71 has the antenna in the bottom of the phone, so even a normal style of holding it will make the signal drop. It's not just Nokia, it also affects Blackberry, HTC etc...

                            The problem is not visible in areas with good signal strength, happens only where the signal is weaker..

                            Once I record a video of my E71 losing signal, I'll send you that too.

                            Cheers,

Apple had to give examples to prove to the media that the iphone is not the only phone that suffers from signal drops when held the wrong way. So why are they going to prove that it they do not show other phones doing the same thing? It is not fair either for the media to single out the iphone for a common problem with every phone. That is not cool either. What's more uncool is, nokia releasing a press release after the death grip issue came out saying that their users can hold their phone however way they want as if their phones don't have weak spots as well. Now that's uncool.

Well what if you're driving and you need directions? You need to pull over and look for a hotspot? Nice. How convenient. As for those with a data plan. You can check emails, web browse, blog, do social network, use apps, etc. That's the convenience of having an iphone and using it for its worth, otherwise, you're better off getting cheap alternatives with wifi.
