iPhone 4 owner as of day 1 and I haven't had an issue. I can't imagine that this is true.
EDIT: Wow, Ok I get it. It's a real problem. But I guess I meant to say that it certainly seems like the iPhone will be remembered in a much more positive light.
- ghurlman 16y agoiPhone 4 owner as of day 1 and I have had this issue. I can't imagine that this is false.
- leviathant 16y agoI wonder who's done more research into the issue, cschep and his iPhone 4, or Consumer Reports, with decades of history of impartial product testing, three iPhones, and an RF isolation chamber? Well, since cschep hasn't had the issue, it can't possibly be true.
- cschep 16y agoI really did not intend to be so dismissive, but was just trying to counter with the idea that the iPhone 4 is such a wonderful piece of design and engineering. That I just can't imagine it being remembered for anything other than that. Just an opinion.

The response: > iPhone 4 owner as of day 1 and I haven't had an issue. I can't imagine that this is true. What cschep can't imagine to be true is: That the iPhone 4 will be remembered as one of the biggest avoidable but unforseen design errors of all time.
- leviathant 16y agoHere, let me quote the edit to the original post. "EDIT: Wow, Ok I get it. It's a real problem." That whirring noise you might hear when you read his edit is the sound of backpedaling. That said, I think that the post he was replying to is overblown. I don't think everyone will remember the iPhone for having antenna issues. I think that the most outstanding thing the iPhone4 brings to the table is the display, which is awesome and ahead of its time, by just a little bit. Let's go over this again, just so you understand the downvotes. [EDIT: I appreciate that you removed the bit where you called me and the other upvoters 'geniuses' - I would like to believe that the level of rehtoric on HN is above ad hominem attacks.] "The iPhone 4 antenna attenuation issue will be remembered as one of the biggest avoidable but unforeseen design errors of all time, I think." This guy thinks that the antenna issue is going to be very memorable. I personally disagree with what he thinks, but it is what he thinks. "iPhone 4 owner as of day 1 and I haven't had an issue. I can't imagine that this is true." This guy either can't imagine that it's true that the other guy thinks that the antenna issue is going to be very memorable, or he can't believe it's true that the issue he can't reproduce even exists. He is wrong on both counts. While certainly the original poster can change his mind about how important the antenna issue will be, at the moment he wrote that, is is true that he thought it was huge. At the moment he wrote that, the issue as described by Consumer Reports and now Engadget, exists and is true.
- tvon 16y agoI read "EDIT: Wow, Ok I get it. It's a real problem." as clarification, not backpedaling.
- humblepatience 16y agoi can't hear your post over the sound of you being a longwinded asshole
- leviathant 16y agoClassy! Is your handle intentionally ironic?
