Jobs says Signal Strength a "non issue"

The new headine at macRumors is showing other phones with a similar issue. But when you hold those phones in your hand, you lose a bar or 2, so no big deal. But when you put an iPhone in your hand, you lose all bars, and get NO SERVICE! Not the same issue. iPhone has a worse issue. What ever the problem is, its not the user, as users don't deal with this **** on other phones that were designed correctly. So Apple needs to fix it.

Thank you!
 
I don't understand why the can't relocate the antenna to somewhere whete your hand can't touch it.

I sure hope EVERY media outlet blows this story up. This is ********; I just checked how I hold my phone and the left corner ends up in my palm. Why should I have to change this?

Every one...

Please stop!

Do not like the phone or Job's answer? Get a froid already...

I went to the apple store today, and there were not enough sellers to go around, and I'm not talking about the two 1000+ lines to purchase the iPhone 4 (one for reserved, one for purchase).

I guess that a lot of folks don't give a hoop about any of this...

We didn't know about the defect this morning. Give this a week to make the circles and have people discover it. Only then will we know how big of a stink this will or won't be.
 
I hold my phone exactly the way SJ did in the keynote.. both when I am browsing and when I am calling. But, getting used to holding it a little differently is ok with me. It is not a deal-breaker. However, at&t is THE deal breaker for me. So, even though I am eligible for an upgrade, I'll hold off on the new one till either apple opens up to other carriers or till android makes another splash.

PS: that said, SJ's reply shows a little arrogance.
 
this guy has the right idea

Steve Jobs = Tony Hayward?

No fanboy can possibly defend Steve's emails, not even me.

For those of you who think that Steve isn't in it for the money, I'd like to submit Exhibit A to the jury...

When the keynote came out I was like how does it make sense to put the antennas around the phone, exposed to the palm of your hand. It doesn't seem so ingenious when Steve announced it, and now it looks like a really big problem.
 
I doubt that was actually Jobs saying that, but regardless it's far from a non-issue. I've had enough dropped calls today to tell me that it's certainly a big problem that needs to be addressed. If it was a non-issue, they wouldn't have acknowledged it started telling people to use bumpers.

I can't believe Arn didn't point that out. While other phones have had connection issues, the iPhone 4 is worse, and holding it in your palm kills reception while other phones might lose a bar or two.

Heck look at this video.

Thats my iPhone and it doesn't lose bars in 3G mode, and it gets down to 2 bars when gripped strangely in Edge mode. But no, I don't get NO SERVICE on top of my screen.

Sorry about that crappy camera tat make noise when focusing and won't stay in focus either.
 
That dude really said "don't hold it that way"....CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!

Just put the phone on the table and look at it. heheheh!! So glad I didn't buy that pos.
 
I am watching the keynote again and he is talking about no room for a full size SIM cause they needed the space and the antenna design was all about space. Was anybody complaining that it was too thick no were they complaining about lost calls yes! So make it the same size and fix the calls.

Not a big deal? Are you on crack? How many people do you need telling you this is a BIG PROBLEM ? CNN, MSNBC, all the blogs, all the forums - everyone is complaining of this issue.

Mr. Jobs' response is don't hold it like that? ****ing really? Are you ****ing kidding me? Someone at Apple better be dicking around with emails. If not, they need the **** sued out of them for this stunt.

It's BS.:mad:

Never try to reason with somebody that has a "i" in front their user name.
 
"I don't need to change myself to fit the product, it fits me"

Clearly Ives philosophy didn't apply to the iPhone 4.
