July 2, 2010 – Apple released a letter to iPhone 4 users about the reported wireless reception problems some people were experiencing. Apple stated “gripping almost any mobile phone in certain ways will reduce its reception by 1 or more bars. This is true of iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, as well as many Droid, Nokia and RIM phones.” “But some users have reported that iPhone 4 can drop 4 or 5 bars when tightly held in a way which covers the black strip in the lower left corner of the metal band.” Because of this large drop some have accused the iPhone 4 of having a faulty antenna design.
