If you spend most of your day outside a cubicle, no where near a computer, or you are a hermit with a wicked long beard who lives inside a cave up in the mountains, you probably haven’t heard about the iPhone 4′s reception problems. In a nutshell, the issues are that holding the phone in a ‘normal’ way to quite a few consumers drops your reception considerably, all due to the fact that the users hand touching the aluminum band around the phone disrupts the antenna signal. Most of the tech news outlets have covered this and conducted their own tests and determined it’s a very real issue. Now, with such a large entity like the Consumer Reports agency doing their own tests, then later saying they “cannot recommend the iPhone 4 at this time with it’s reception problems”, Apple has decided to continue to ignore and disregard the claims. In a new tactic of douchebaggery, Apple has decided to selectively delete user posts on their support forums about the issue. Furthermore, Apple itself has admitted that the signal bars you see on the iPhone 4 are over exaggerated and incorrect, and Apple is working on a “fix” to accurately represent the signal strength again.
