Haha unbelievable what kind of idiots do troll around these forums.
The OP has a perfectly legitimate, logical and even reasonable request.
So far, iP4 problems have been documented in Youtube in countless videos. What the OP is after here is PROOF of:
- that you have two iP4s side by side, connected to the same network (and BTS for that matter)
- that one device shows the problem and the other one doesn't
And by this it's easily concluded that IF the above would be true, then the problem would most certainly not affect EVERY iP4 manufactured.
Why does this matter? If it does not affect every phone, then it most likely is not a SW issue. I am a telecom engineer (network side, production) by profession, and while some SW problems could crop up in a situation like that, even showing the problem in one device and not on the other, it's extremely unlikely that covering that left side stripe and the effects upon doing that would be affected by SW element actually variating the result.
Much much more likely is then, IF the above scenario can be proven to happen, that the HW is not exactly identical in each iP4, and that this issue is also then not likely a design issue per se. But more likely a component or production process related issue.
It could be a design issue if it happens so that the components are performing at the edge of their RF-performance. That some batch of components or assembly could escape this signal degradation, and another batch wouldn't. Then you could call it a design issue, since the component tolerances (and other production related tolerances) would make the problem surface. No device should ever be designed in a way that it cannot take volume production environment without essentially starting to show bad habits out of the box. If this happens because of cheap compos or just a different kind of batch of them, then I'd say Apple has not tested volume production and 2nd source components enough. Or that it has problems in their assembly line at Foxconn.
Anyway, a perfectly legitimate request, and running at page 13 no one has yet to prove the case. Will follow this with great interest. And thanks to OP for this. It shows so well in these kinds of forums that there are many individuals who have absolutely no clue about things
, and then there are some who do...
edit: forgot to mention that, IF the scenario cannot be created or the case proven (that in identical conditions one iP4 would be fine and the other one not), then we must assume that ALL iP4s are in fact experiencing this problem (to smaller or bigger extent). And in this case, the problem could be either SW or HW or a combination of both. There are so many people who are yelling that their phones don't have problems, so it would be very interesting to see this case actually proven.
IWM
