iPhone 4′s Signal Woes Not Unique, May Not Be Serious ☀
According to Consumer Reports, it appears the iPhone 4 signal issues many folks are complaining about may not necessarily be unique to the iPhone 4 and might not even be all that serious.
Most of the Web sites reporting dropped signals and even dropped calls have demonstrated several techniques, or “death grips” for recreating the problem (which we’ve yet been able to reproduce in a meaningful way). But those almost always require squeezing the phone hard, in an unnatural way. Those grips may also produce sweaty palms from exertion, with the sweat increasing conductivity—and possibly the degree of signal loss.
There does not appear to be a hard and fast rule for when and how this signal degradation issue afflicts the iPhone 4. About the only constant in all cases is a lack of a quality signal in the area, which may ultimately facilitate the purported issues.
Either way, this is definitely not going to stop me from snatching up an iPhone 4. What about you?
