Consumer Reports: iPhone 4 = Design Flaw
 

We have all known the iPhone 4 had a design flaw. But now a more widely accepted, mainstream source has acknowledged it too.

Personally, I cant wait to throw this in the face of apple fanbois! How Apple managed to repeat antenna/reception issues and make them even worse I have no idea. I wonder if anyone will be (or has been) fired over this.

yea but with respect this is going to end up being another flaming thread lol, we all know of its design flaws, but this is gonna start another rant/fanboy thing again

I do get a kick out of this.

But, for me the TP2 also has a design issue in that I have to be careful how I hold it. I'm right handed, and my little finger just loves to cover the microphone hole.

I'm not equating the 2.

Consumer Reports: iPhone 4 still the best smartphone you can get.

Also, moved to iPhone forums

I have not had any issues with my phone. I am enjoying the switch i made and would not discouraging anyone here from choosing whatever phone works for them. Personal preference and it is a shame that there has to be any flaming.

People who flame are insecure individuals.

It actually gets better...

CNET is reporting that the company's forum moderators are deleting any mention of Consumer Reports' findings that the antenna issue is an inherent design flaw, and not just a software issue.

It's like Christmas all over again.

I think I was reading some engadget user comments and some of them are hilarious. Apple fanboys chime in to say they don't have any reception issues, and that they have a case on their phone. Just totally ignorant on the issue and to come to apples rescue. Yes, its already been said that with a case it does fix the issue. They are idiots and I love this news! LOL

Re: Consumer Reports: iPhone 4 = Design Flaw
 

I agree that this is a problem, but why are you so happy that people's phones are failing @ reception?

nice to know not everyone is an iphone fan boy
