My girlfriend and I each have an iPhone 4 that was bought about the same time (recently). We were just in Mexico where we did not use cellular data (too expensive there) but we had wifi available. The wifi signal was weak however, especially in our room.

However, at any given time she could get much better wifi reception than me. She could be checking email and surfing the web while my phone would be slowly loading a page, or not loading at all.

Is there variability in wifi reception strength? Well I guess there clearly is. Is there a way to test a given iPhone's reception strength? I'm tempted to take it in the the Apple store since it's within the one-year period, but wonder what you all know about this.
