No. Your mileage will vary, of course: a large part of this is rumored to be tied to how strong your AT&T signal is, so it may be I live and work in areas of relatively strong signals. I very rarely have experienced a signal strength problem with iPhone 4, however. Admittedly, I was a little concerned at launch — if I tried hard enough I could reproduce the signal problem — but I've found it just hasn't mattered in normal usage of the phone.
I think it'll eventually blow over, and I think we're starting to see signs of this in the Apple press already. I suspect Jobs knows it's a relative non-issue and is trying to brush it off as such. Unfortunately, it is an issue new iPhone users are concerned about and his words sound callous in that light. It likely would make more sense for Jobs to sit on his words and instead quietly ship the upcoming 4.01 release, but hey, it's Jobs.
- flatline 16y agoYeah, when I got the 4, I couldn't reproduce the problem at work, but I have a strong signal there. At home, I can set the phone down and it gets four bars. If I cover the bottom gaps, it will drop to "Searching..." in about 30 seconds. Touching the rest of the case will take it to one bar - pretty much unusable. I had similar problems with the 3GS, they just weren't as bad. I'm still glad I bought it, my biggest beef is that I can't just bitch about AT&T's coverage any more.
