Thinking of returning iPhone 4

<< < (3/8) > >>

neg:
Got to admit I am really suprised and dissapointed about this signal issue, one of the big things about the iP4 was better reception.

Dont see a software update being able to fix it.

Whens the next one coming out ...  :laugh:

Software update won't actually fix the issue, it'll just make it seem less bad. Point is that both Anandtech and researcher at Cardiff University independently found a roughly -19dB attenuation when the iPhone 4 is held such that the two antennae are bridged. That's a 4x loss of signal! (Remember that dB is a logarithmic scale).

My dad's getting really peed off with his iPhone 4s - he's considering swapping one for an HTC Desire. He's an Apple guy through and through so that speaks volumes!

MAT ED30:
mines been spot on and never had any probs at all  :confused: the bars do go down but mines got a case around it so its been ok


edit that mine just dropped to 1 bar from 5  :signLOL:
