I never said they were the same. But they have the same end result, and that's all that matters.
True. They both have the same end result, from an end-users perspective. That is until people realize that the [free] bumper / case [or refund] only cures the antenna gap bridging. It simply
cannot stop signal attenuation. At least not the one Apple made
this page for.
In short: People get a [free] bumper / case [refund] to prevent the antenna gap bridging, but it won't change anything to normal attenuation, and since that is what Apple is demonstrating with all these silly videos...
The technical reason for dropping signal is only relevant to engineers. So yes, you missed the point, because both of these technical issues can cause signal loss simply by holding the phone, just as you do with any phone (unless you're using a handsfree device).
The fact that
you as end-user only don't care, doesn't mean others shouldn't. I mean [we] stock holders also need to know the truth, simply because it hurts the payout of dividend/stock value when Apple has to cough up more money. They [we] are all effectively part of this free bumper/case offer.
Really, those who like to argue about the two different technical reasons for signal loss on the iPhone when they are effectively the same in real world usage are the kind of people who also tend to argue semantics to a fault. This is not productive, and it's also why most people don't care and are still buying the phone, because it doesn't matter like those with nerd rage seem to think it does.
Really? Well. In that case let me tell you something. I stopped working, at age 38, and from that day on I only do what I like to do. Sometimes I work for companies like Intel and Apple, simply because I
can contribute something. Or
they ask me to do something for them. Like this new signal strength indicator. To make a change. Now tell me something; What did
you to contribute to the problem, other than classifying people here, based on their views? What good is that?
