iPhone 4 Antenna Issues
The heat is ongoing for the antenna issue faced by iPhone 4. It’s in the magazines, morning news etc. Consumer Reports, the influential magazine for product reviews, does not recommend the iPhone 4 because of reception problems it said were caused by a design flaw.
Consumer Reports’ engineers have just completed testing the iPhone 4, and have confirmed that there is a problem with its reception,” the magazine said on its website, ConsumerReports.org.
“When your finger or hand touches a spot on the phone’s lower left side — an easy thing, especially for lefties — the signal can significantly degrade enough to cause you to lose your connection altogether if you’re in an area with a weak signal,” it said.
Notice that they mention that the problem arise in places with low signal and only when you hold it with your left hand. Though this is undeniably a flaw in some way, but its harder to find a place with low or no signal than strong signal. Many iPhone 4 users commented on the above flaw and said they have no problem with the phone especially when they used it with a cover. See comments on website by following the link below.
Apple said that it promises to issue a free software patch to resolve the issue that has already triggered lawsuits. Apple also denies that reception problems were due to faults in its new antenna system, which is incorporated in the casing.
Consumer Reports, however, did mention that the iPhone 4 performed well in other areas.
“It sports the sharpest display and best video camera we’ve seen on any phone,” it said, and “outshines its high-scoring predecessors with improved battery life and such new features as a front-facing camera for video chats.”
