adamlikesmusic Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Read about this last week. I think the issue is exaggerated, but I suppose that isn't the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 not an iphone owner so this doesnt affect me but if these were the 3 options i was given to fix the problem, id be pissed too... "It said Apple and AT&T have failed to provide customer support and customers have been left with only thee remedies: "hold their phones in an awkward and unnatural manner," pay a 10% restocking fee and return their phones, or pay $29.95 to buy one of Apple's cases that are said to fix the reception problem." those cases cost pennies to make. at least offer a free case to people who are having this problem.

adamlikesmusic Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 For what it's worth, third party cases are available for much less. (I think Engadget posted one for $.99) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 as soon as i got my new iphone, i put it right in a case. a case much nicer than the apple "bumpers" and cheaper too. why would you not want it in a case? the thing's made of glass!

alex13 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 people are just looking for reasons to get lots of money without working for it. this should surprise no one exactly. If you're holding it in the manner that reduces reception...you're a fucking idiot. Learn to hold shit more naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then its Apple is such a great company like we all thought instead of "apple is screwing us" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbypuckett Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 There are some issues w/ the phone and it's happening on the 3GS too since the iOS4 update. I can't replicate the issue, I've tried a few times, but my bars stay about the same. I haven't tried the speed tests though. I'm right handed, so I generally won't have this issue. I bought a bumper w/ my phone on launch and I didn't like it at first, but now I do. I'm tired of using a case that hides how great the iPhone looks. The bumper does the trick. Apple came out and said that they have a fix, but basically what they said is that their formula for figuring out how many bars to display is wrong. Not sure how that will fix this issue. Bad design that wasn't tested my Apple. I'm not effected though, so I don't really care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
