iPhone 4 stainless steel band and reception issues

You have all heard the buzz of the Iphone 4 and new "wow" features, I personally didn't bother writing about it because it just doesn't compare to some other touch screen phones such as the  HTC EVO 4G.

To be fair I have to mention that I found great improvements in the new iPhone compared with the older iPhones ...Just to be fair :)

I am writing this article to point out the issue that has lately circulated among tech sites about the iPhone 4 's antenna reception problem and Signal Indicator problem.

The first issue was about the stainless steel band that goes all round the iPhone giving it structural firmness and acts as an antenna and here comes the problem when the iPhone is held from the place pointed out in the picture bellow, the signal almost dies and that's a hardware problem  that no one is really sure what Apple is going to do about.


Cnet TV made a video to test phone calls' quality to point out how serious this issue is Watch bellow

The second issue is the Signal bars indicator, Apple issued a statement that saying that the bars indicator isn't working and they will be issuing a software update soon to fix this, thats software therefore easy to solve but not really sure about the first hardware issue.

Lets see what happens, but if you want my opinion I would say buy an HTC!
