So How Come There is No Problems With WiFi

[bob616]

Wifi uses the same external antenna as cellular service. How come wifi doesn't go down when you touch the antenna?

physics of course

haha looks like apple actually did find a way to change the laws of physics

Wi-Fi is not controlled by the cellular antenna, which is located in the bottom-left hand corner.

Also, be sure to search as this has been discussed already

yes but it still is an antenna on the outside of the phone, and when you touch the other black strips it doesn't do anything

Wi-Fi is stronger and handles signals differently compared to cellular data.

Wifi and cell service aren't on the same antenna.

That said, I dunno about the answer to your question. I don't know any technical info about it, but perhaps wifi isn't susceptible to the same type of attenuation as the cellular antenna.

Different Frequency band, different effect. At the risk of starting a whole new debate. When I hold my 3GS in my hand it improves the wifi signal. I see this through a Cydia app called WiFi FoFum it shows the signal strength for wifi in dBm. My wifi signal strength improves from -75 dBm to -67 dBm when held.
