No need to deal with the tape Default Antenna of iPhone 4. Apple has another solution. His boss , Steve Jobs, under fire from critics , spoke Friday night from Cupertino, California to restore the credibility of the company. To begin, he conceded that his group was "not perfect " . He then unveiled the solution to solve the problem of signal loss when the hand covers the bottom left of the iPhone. The solution? A simple plastic case and rubber will be offered to owners of Apple 's new smartphone . Better, this case , which costs $ 29 in trade , will be refunded to those that have already bought one.

I suggests that this is not a simple problem of antenna and metal frame , but communication software . Citing an unnamed source familiar with the matter , the newspaper said that the iPhone has four public discovers a defect inherent in all of its predecessors .

The thing to actually have antenna issues with the new iPhone 4 , and we 're not even sure it's a problem with all phones - a quick survey by Engadget shows that over half the responses are problems with drop bars reception ( but about one third of them knows no more dropped calls than usual). The poll is not scientific at all and could be polluted by Apple - haters , but I think it was either Engadget or iPhone Gizmodos 4 not known antenna problems , then there are certainly phones there without ( these reception problems ) - apparently.

Apple begins by recalling that a large amount of users no problems with the iPhone 4 and is even better than it captures the iPhone 3G . Then the manufacturer began a rather unconvincing explanation that the problem does not take on how his latest model mobile captures but the way it displays the bar meant to reflect this process . Apple says it has used the wrong formula to calculate the number of bars to be displayed , which explains that users think losing a lot of bars in certain situations when in reality those that initially displayed do not reflect the how their phone captured.
