Anechoic chamber testing fails (see image)

[iPadThai]

No wonder the antennagate issue exists. Look at how they tested the iPhone 4 in their state of the art anechoic chambers!! Notice what's wrong with this picture (answer: right handed testing only)

Thread fail on every level.

That's a pretty lame attempt at being funny.

come on guys - have some fun

(btw, I'm keeping my iPhone 4; case or no case)

Damn they spend $100m building this thing but they cant remember to test both hands?

that's exactly why they didn't know about this problem until later. I'm sure the bumpers were made to alleviate this exact issue

regardless of whatever steve-o says, I'm still 100% content with my iPhone 4. Unless there is another maker out there who can make something just like the iPhone 4 or better without these antenna issues, there's no point in bitching.

Don't even bring up any android doo-doo phones. I'd go back to my moto razr before I would ever PAY for an android device. They are not up to iPhone 4 standards.

Yeah I didn't think this was a big issue before today and I think its even less of an issue now.

They spent 100 million on that room, but can't spend that on fixing the damn phones ? I believe they said they had 18 scientists also, lol.

...I believe they said they had 18 scientists also, lol.

18 right-handed scientists and engineers

I don't have a case on, however. But I don't hold it that way anymore.

 

[LordOBoogie]

Snore.

 

[Knowimagination]

yes I am sure that picture is from the one and only test that they did. Man you would think apple would be smarter than that...

1) that's exactly why they didn't know about this problem until later.

2) They are not up to iPhone 4 standards.

1) It's great to be Apple, your supporters will defend any shortcoming no matter what.

2) These are some standards alright..,

Hey, Apple, I'm a leftie. If you need to hire someone... just sayin'.

 

[MisterDisney]

iPhone 4 is a Catholic plot against left-handed people.

Its cost them 175 million so far with the free bumper solution so clearly it would cost them far more than that to do an actual fix. As well as end up with egg on their face.
