Actually Consumer Reports is the one who has become full of themselves. They used to be fairly good at what they do but now have become full of their own self importance, like too many people who read their own press releases.
They said in their earlier report that the only reason they didn't give a buy recommendation to the iP4 was that Apple didn't give bumpers that would fix the issue. Today Apple says alright we'll give our customers who want bumpers, and we'll give you a full refund if you return your phone within 30 days with no damage. Then CR full of their own self importance comes along and says, not enough you must do this and this. I'd say they are the ones who are full of it.
I like the fact that Apple keeps a sharp control of their products it stops them from degrading into the trash that is Microsoft. All of my Apple products work very well with each other, tight control of the Operating Systems insure that.
Oh, I have the antenna issue and since my phone is and always has been and always will be in a case, it is a non-issue to me.
Anyone who doesn't put their cell phone in a case is a fool. And note I said cell phone because I mean any cell phone.
One last note this evening I took my iPad 3G out of its case and tested its antenna and guess what it lost bars also. Therefore Steve Jobs was right about what he said about the other phone and it can also be said about iPads. Did I lose service no, but I've never lost service because of it on my iPhone either.
