Consumer Reports: iPhone 4 = Design Flaw

[ace741]

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

It's like Christmas all over again.

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

All my previous phones were HTC and they were absolute garbage. The iphones are like angels compared to the junk HTC puts out.

All my iphones have great quality, the only reason I upgrade is because I like new technology. With HTC, you upgrade because it breaks on you or has a defect.

What is the flaw of the jitterbug?

---------------------------------------

But as I said before I used HTC phones and never had a problem...people experience varies from person to person...

I have no idea what that is.

I'm not happy about people's reception issues. I'm just happy that people rather than just the informed tech crowd are finally seeing Apple's true colors. Like the general consensus of the tech articles point out, its not the actual reception issue that is apples biggest problems, its how hey have handled it. First to say there is no issue, then to say oh you're holding it wrong. All cellphones have the same problem. oh wait, its a software glitch we are going to fix. Consumer reports don't like our iphone 4, delete all threads referring to Consumer reports. Its a problem they thought they could use their apple mind control on their fans to sweep under the rug and its has gotten worse.

What's even funnier to me is with the previous iphones it was a blame game of the dropped call issues between apple and ATT. With they Iphone 4 they decided to use their new antenna designs as a selling point for the phone. What does that say about the previous Iphones? It was something to be desired? And when is the last time you heard a phone advertising its antenna design? To think one of their advertised features is the one that has the biggest fault is just ironic and hilarious to me.

What's funny to me is that the majority of us in this forum are well informed about all kinds of phones so we are not the regular fanboys you keep referring to. We love technology and making it better on all of of our devices regardless of what they are b

And most people here have used blackberry, winmo, palm, and/or android, as well as at least have played with an iPhone. the iphone has just become more haterable the more things go on like this.

3GS comes out: Multitasking is bad, steve jobs even had charts showing how bad it is.

4 comes out: Multitasking the way we do it is right, also you can change your background.

IDK how many people blamed ATT for the original iphone not being able to do MMS. It took 2 more years for the innovation of 3gs MMS. At the same time iphone 1 couldn't do it, flip phones could, even flips on ATTs network, I'm pretty sure a few phones even had video share available(over 3g).

I think the geeker people want to see something truly innovative out of apple, not just "oh this platform has had that for 8 years"

People on this forum know what other phones can do, so we expect apple to truly innovate if they are charging a premium for thier product.

In less then 2 years, Android has gone from the G1(could laugh here, was very first gen), to Droid/Hero, to EVO/X/Droid2. Pretty damn big gap. In the same last two years, Apple has only added stuff that should have been there since 3G. lolwallpaper
