Keep going Apple, it amuses me how petty your response to the issue has been, instead of fixing it and saying, "Yes, there was a problem, but it has now been resolved" you've gone, "no, its not really a problem caused by us, but look, its not just us, see, see, see see, see!".
Incredably mature of you as a company. I'm not an iPhone fan, or a hater, just apalled by how mature you seem as a company.

Retina Display?? you need a microscope to see the pixels and a average user use phone in the distance of 25cm. From this distance you can rarely tell any difference between 200ppi and 326ppi.
Build quality?? Its now confirm build quality is cheap on Iphone lol
User Interface?? Other phones are not too far behind.
Applications and Games?? Why not buy a console for gaming? And how many application a normal average user use? Only 10 applications."
Good post. I'll tell you what the advantages are: THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE. And again I am NOT an Apple fanboy! Can you honestly tell me you are not impressed by the retina display? The only display comparable is the Super AMOLED display (like on the Samsung Galaxy S..another awesome phone). But again, I'm comparing everything - the looks, the apps, the media player, camera, call quality etc.
Build quality is cheap on the iPhone 4? What? Where on earth did you hear that? The build quality is fantastic! Let's not just make up problems just for the hell of it!
And as far as apps go, I have way more than 10 apps on my phone. I realize the Android store is growing fast, (and I know over half the iPhone apps available are useless) but at the moment there is way more support for iPhone apps and again, the experience of getting apps through iTunes beats the Android store any day. And yes, I have used both!
Niraj, I just wish all posts here could be mature like yours..asking useful questions and stuff.

In apple video, the video featuring Iphone4 stopped upon Iphone4 reaches 1 bar, in a pretty short duration.
In other video especially Samsung Omnia 2, the demonstrator took more than 30s for Omnia 2 signal to drop from 2 bar to 1 bar. If he had uses the same amount of time to wait on Iphone4, im 99% sure Iphone4 would show no signal, but rather "searching for network"

Anonymous, 21 Jul 2010Pete, don’t be so paranoid. Apple released video/statement ... more"You need to wake up; it has the worst reception than any other smart phone. It can’t get worse than a total signal loss! Name one other smart phone that totally loses signal when you hold it??"
My friend, (and I don't mean to be rude) but have you actually USED the iPhone? I don't get all these comments from people who don't even have the phone for God's sake!!! The whole point of the forum originally was for people to discuss their own phones and phones they were interested in buying! It's so funny how it's turned into a place just to post hated comments!!
Let me repeat, I have used the iPhone 4 for 3 weeks and have NEVER got a dropped call. The sound quality is way better than the 3GS (which I never actually owned but I did use several times). I have noticed the bars going down a few times, but that was never a problem. And just realize this...if you did get a dropped call on the iPhone 4, it's because you were in an area of low network coverage! Which means you would get the same problem with other phones.
Why can't people be more mature on this website. Maybe they have nothing better to do. Look, I'm not saying the position of the antennae was a good idea..obviously not and we can all be sure Apple will make a change next year. But the reception problem HAS been blown out of proportion. I challenge anyone to use both an iPhone and some other phone in an area of low coverage (or any area for that matter). Please compare and tell your results. Don't just write stupid comments on some website if you've never used the phone.

very good, you are doing very good jobs. Mr job if spent your time with your iphone, i am sure that you can solve the problem but you are showing others' problems. no one actually like this kinds of work. so before it is too late stop!!!!. doing this and by the way nokia they have two bars, so that prove that nokia is better that iphone in reception. so be careful in future while you are finding something that can help you to excuse. finally dismiss that guy who has find that N97 mini because he fail to find a proper example. same on you MR Jobs.

Plus, they were aware of the issue and decided to ignore it and release the phone anyway (fact!). You’re sounding just as desperate as Apple.

Anonymous, 21 Jul 2010I think this is hilarious. The "untouchable" Noki... moreSweetheart, using a DESIGN flaw to defame other brands is not a battle Apple wants to start.
If any brand sues for defamation because of false claims (and this is one), be prepared to dosh out big dollars.
I have tried to reduce my signal on my SHARP WX-T923 and I can't by simply covering it.
The fact is that Apple's antenna will short out each time 100% because actual physics come into play.

Sad fact: Apple what are willing to do anything to defend a ‘design fault’ rather than ‘fix it’. Unlike the iPhone 4, Nokia N97 mini still has few bars so a call can be made from it.
“iPhone 4 does NOT have worse reception than these other smart phones! I agree, there is an issue with the antennae, but even with the issue, the reception is better”
You need to wake up; it has the worst reception than any other smart phone. It can’t get worse than a total signal loss! Name one other smart phone that totally loses signal when you hold it??

What the... Hey Apple, FYI, any phone if you cover the antenna with your hand it would really lose the antenna. Apple shouldn't blame other phone manufacturers for their fault because Apple uses antenna technology that existed in 1979, not even close to what is today. These are false accusations coz I own a n97 mini and I dont experience any signal drops. Also dont compare your(APPLE) useless phone to others coz your iPhone 4 is a trash. Anyone with me?
