Total douche move from Apple. But here's the deal. Downfall of Apple and Jobs? Not even close. They'll trumpet the free case, act like it was awfully nice of them, spin spin spin and make even more money.]]>Jul 16th 2010 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/Jul 16th 2010 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/
I can't wait to see the response from RIM, HTC, Samsung, and Nokia. I am pretty sure they are pissed and probably will be hearing about a lawsuit soon from at least one of them. Apple practically took its problems with its external antenna design and tried to slander other brands to make it look like it was on an equal playing field.]]>Jul 16th 2010 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/Jul 16th 2010 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/

So apple, if its so widely known that covering up the antenna causes signal loss as you suggest, WHY THE HELL DID YOU PUT IT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE PHONE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. I guess if I hold my phone upside down on the evo, i'll have issues, but until then, i'll enjoy my signal. ]]>Jul 16th 2010 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/1. putting it outside not shielded

i completely agree stupid design]]>Jul 16th 2010 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/Jul 16th 2010 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/This proves what ive been thinking. Apple was able to get those bar drops by selecting a spot where there's no reflections from other directions. That way the and between basestation and phone attunates the signal.

There aren't many places where this is possible. Only place that comes to my mind is the RF testing rooms apple showed pictures of. About every other place has reflections.

With iPhone it isn't the hand attenuating the signal but hand is shortcircuiting the antenna. No way a reflection will help this, as it does on other phones.]]>Jul 16th 2010 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/i only lose 1 bar when i do that.

They are trying to say other phones lose signal when you hold it when THEY DO NOT.

noones phone loses signal when you hold it naturally, especially not like the iphone.

but continue apple, giving away the free cases because nothings wrong, right?]]>Jul 16th 2010 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/

All phones lose some signal when held. This is true, and common sense. However, people have never had issues such as no service, dropped called, and killed data connections from holding their phone like the iPhone 4 does.

Trying to push the blame around on all other smartphone manufacturers is ridiculous. "They do it too so we can as well" is all Apple is saying.

It's good they're giving away free cases, but it shouldn't have a time limit. If they're going to give them out, they should give them out for the entire sales life of the product.

They should also man up and fix the actual problem instead of "covering" it up.]]>Jul 16th 2010 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/apple-posts-iphone-4-press-conference-video-smartphone-antenna/in a related sense...someone please correct me if I wrong

The question is how big of a problem is this? And how many iPhone 4 users are complaining about it? Any problem in the real world can seem a lot bigger on the internet.

And that's something we'll find out in the coming days, weeks, as people take up the opportunity to return their phones.
