About the antenna problem. I always read that it is a bar number problem. But is there _real_ reception problem? I mean, has someone experienced that the Phone

  Aside from the anecdotes of plenty of people with YouTube and Twitter accounts, the antenna problem has been thoroughly tested by Consumer Reports, according to a blog post that made the rounds yesterday: http://blogs.consumerreports.org/electronics/2010/07/apple-iphone-4-antenna-issue-iphone4-problems-dropped-calls-lab-test-confirmed-problem-issues-signal-strength-att-network-gsm.html http://blogs.consumerreports.org/electronics/2010/07/apple-i... Engadget is reporting that Apple has been deleting references to the Consumer Reports blog on their support forums. The antenna problem affects actual people, who really do experience dropped calls when they're in an area with weaker coverage and they bridge the two antennae. I'm continually surprised at this notion amongst many iPhone4 users that if it doesn't happen to them, then it must not exist, despite plenty of evidence that it does exist.

  Degraded call quality and dropped calls are a consequence of signal attenuation. If the antenna experiences abnormal (normal being defined by typical behavior of competing devices) attenuation, then you will experience call degradation issues under conditions where your signal strength is not optimal. http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/06/putting-hard-numbers-to-the-iphone-4-antenna-issue.ars http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/06/putting-hard-numbe...
