Is the iPhone 4 getting an antenna fix or simply a slight redesign?

06 January, 2011
We've just came across a series of images that show the slightly tweaked external body of a device that's highly similar to the iPhone 4. What we have here is either a design update for the iPhone 4. What we have...

If it is a re-design, its only because they faulted the original design in the first place by messing up the antenna and would be a lot more cost effective than actually exchanging EVERY handset sold thus far.

      alpha, 07 Jan 2011where do u get your information? bell and telus run on ... moreIf you want to get technical about,then yes but it's still CDMA. Apple still had to make the iPhone to work on bel and telus network and part of that is CDMA

          alpha, 07 Jan 2011where do u get your information? bell and telus run on ... morewell bell and telus are fazing out CDMA since it's useless now since they have been more successfull with HSPA and HSPA+

          and soo to be LTE

          virgin mobile did the same
          they fazed out CDMA and jumped to HSPA/HSPA+ and got better phones

          LOL

          CDMA is kinda dead
          sprint is using dying telecommunication reception XD

              bell and telus run on CDMA and HSPA networks which means the iphone 3g and 4g run on the HSPA network AKA 3G

              there is no CDMA iphone yet. therefore you are wrong sir.

                    realy doubt it would be a CDMA version considering the SIM slot is still available on the side.

                                it seems apple has not learned

                                if the antenna is exposed you are more likely to make contact with it and break or interrupt the signal

                                they really haven't learned at all
                                they are really trying to hard to make something work even though it's the problem

                                  All phones have these problems. Our hardware design team is just as good as others and we have superior software. It's a chinese copy... we never test our products without cases on them. That's why you are holding it wrong. Other phones loose signal. Look they don't works inside a metal cage nor underwater.

                                  honestly it looks like an attempt to make the next generation product function better.

                                    nokia owns symbian again and they have to make up for lost time since symbian foundations was doing jack sh!t with symbian

                                    everything increased

                                      iphone 4 sucks so many issues.... Antenna issues, alarm clock issues... The next iphone 5 will probably have weirder problems and most people will probably still buy it for the sake of showing off... I've used Symbian, Apple, and now Android... And it's awesome and symbian comes second... These os makes Apple looks lousy... Lol

                                        if this is the CDMA iPhone, then it would be a R-UIM Card slot, not SIM Card slot.
                                        (R-UIM Card is a card similar to SIM Card but works on CDMA network only)
