No, they didn't make it seem worse. If I put the phone on my flat hand, and let the signal stabilize, I could drop the signal by about 16dB with one finger (as numerically shown on a jailbroken phone). This was often enough to terminate a call.
There was no "seem" about it - it was a bad design. If I could have gotten a refund AND gotten out of my carrier contract, I would have.
- hox 13y agowhy didn't you? if you were in the US, you have 30 days to return and cancel contracts on all major carriers.
- delinka 13y agoPretty sure that differs state to state. In my state, the law says three days. Sprint gives me a week.
- lostlogin 13y agoWonder if some 4s were worse than others. I still use a 4 and have never dropped a call. I have poor coverage everywhere I use it too. I do have calls go straight to voicemail, but it's usually in my pocket when this happens.
- fpgeek 13y agoI believe the CDMA 4s have an improved antenna design compared to the original GSM 4s (see: http://appleinsider.com/articles/11/02/08/apples_verizon_iphone_4_has_improved_antenna_integrated_gps http://appleinsider.com/articles/11/02/08/apples_verizon_iph... ).
- nacs 13y agoI still have and use my GSM (AT&T) iPhone 4 daily that I got years ago and haven't noticed the 'antenna gate' problem..
- Terretta 13y ago> There was no "seem" about it - it was a bad design And yet until the 5s last week, the iPhone 4 was still being sold, and selling like hotcakes. Why no problems without a redesign? It is maybe possible it was that big a deal?
