All the 0.55% please post here...

so only .55% have reception issue? and everyone got a great phone with no bar drops?

It helps if you do your own reading and study etc... the percentage refers to those folks who called Applecare... nothing less nothing more.

I think he threw in the extra .05 to make it look like a legit calculation.

i'm also having a hard time understanding how .55% of iPhones have this issue, and other phones do not. how does that work??

I assume by "other" you mean other iPhones. That number represents the percentage of the number of calls to AppleCare for reception/antenna issues in the measured time. Out of approximately every 200 calls, one was for a reception issue.

For example, a sample call list:
1. One of my speakers is broken.
2. One of my speakers is broken.
3. One of my speakers is broken.
4. One of my speakers is broken.
.

.
199. One of my speakers is broken.
200. My reception is poor.

I called after apple was telling the reps not to really do anything to help anybody with reception issues.

The rep I spoke to spent the majority of the call telling me how great the bumpers are and how I should drive to the apple store to purchase one. It was like a sales call and I doubt I got counted as one of the 0.55%

I called 1-800-MYAPPLE. I didn't purchase Apple Care. I wonder if calling that number counted in the .55?
