Jobs says Signal Strength a "non issue"

GTFO & GFY.
I think both Jobs and Apple thought this was a minor isolated few incidents and basically their statement mirrors what most cellphone user manuals say.
I have both a 16g and a 32 gig and did a similar test. They both have the blue halo when taking a picture of a white piece of paper, but the 32gb is much more distinct. I would be interested in what the genius says about it.
I guess it's a good thing I'm Canadian and I get to wait and see how this will pan out. I have a bunch of Apple products but this would have been my first iPhone. I'm really hoping this gets figured out without a massive recall.
I agree with the car analogy. The matter of the fact is whether it's software or not, the iPhone with out a working radio is a iPod touch. Not able being able to use it as a phone is ridiculous. The phone either works or it doesn't and the workaround is impractical.
Apple is trying harder to bring this to big business. I don't think a bunch of high level executives are going to be happy when told from IT the reason they keep dropping out of important calls is because they are holding the phone wrong. It's just not going to fly.
For average consumer to return the phone because it is inherently defective is silly because at the end of the day it doesn't rectify the problem.

Yeah, I got my new phone, and was hoping to actually discuss how awesome it is. Wishful thinking I suppose.
Ah ah I deal with sell-side analysts all the time. Most of them are clueless and keep upgrading trending stocks towards infinity until they crash. Technology analysts can be especially bad, as a lot of them come from non-engineering or scientific backgrounds and don't even understand the technology. I am sure a lot of these guys are having trouble comprehending what the problem with the iPhone 4 is (it's a % ****ing $900 smartphone that doesn't make phone calls, stupid!
) If this issue isn't resolved by the weekend expect AAPL to open down 5-7% on Monday. With every growth and value fund way overweight AAPL, the rush for the exits can be catastrophic, especially as portfolio managers try to protect their profits at the end of quarter or half-year.
Try Mac Daily News... The iPhone could be so screwed up that it wouldn't even power up and the users there would tell you it's the best phone in the world.
They're all a bunch of brainwashed drones like you. Why not "discuss how awesome it is" over there. I'm sure you'll fit right in!!
For a person that is on the internet - you fail.
Originally, Apple said it was a software issue. Now, it's because we're holding the phone wrong which implies it's how the phone is designed. So basically Apple saying it's user error.
I would believe it's a software issue if we were simply losing a few bars (which is the case in some areas) but there's a good portion of us losing signal completely.
Probably didn't need to quote the WHOLE song! But you made your point, nonetheless.
No need to quote the whole post
But you're right. Let's just say I was in the mood
STOP!
...Hammertime!
Funny how investors.com also has this on their front page:
Early iPhone 4 owners in grip of reception problem
So... just to make sure - if investors.com picks up a news item, it's of concern to investors... right?
FYI, when my phone is on a table, by a window, i get 5 bars 3G. As soon as I pick it up, I lose ALL bars of 3G AND Edge leaving me with no data, and "1" bar of whatever voice service there is.
There's a 3GS next to me and it gets 4-5 bars consistently in the same spot.
I think you would have to be daft to consider that acceptable under anyone's standards. Whether everyone or not has the same defect, I can't really speak for. But I know the Apple Genius I talked to said all the Geniuses in the store were having the same problem and that I should continually check back to see if they have any updates.

Actually you still fail whether you like it or not. The Internet know-it-alls with no life will make sure you know that.
This issue will only get bigger and bigger. The publicity surroundingthe iPhone 4.0 is huge. The Gizmodo story, the features, the media hype, huge sales figures, etc. has mad this a very visible product and now the problem is becoming very visible too.
I suspect Apple knew of this, thats why they're selling these bumpers. They never made bumpers before.
Apple is in a lot of doo-doo I think. This antenna problem is not going to be easily fixed.
I too, think Apple will try to hide this with a SW update.
Shame on Apple!!!
I'm confused. First you say this:
Then go on to say this:
Why in the world would you spend $200 or $300 plus monthly service fees for a device that does not work properly?
I agree that returning the phone will not rectify a software, hardware, or network problem, but at least you can get another device in the interim. What is silly is accepting these problems as the new norm.

You guys must be those "internet know-it-alls with no life" that the other user warned me about.
That's wonderful. I'm sure your parents are very proud of you.
Now back to something the world cares about...

This is funny and makes me sad at the same time. I hold it like Apple does and now they tell us to hold it differently?

No but it sounds legit. I am sure many people have called them about it already.
