Why the iPhone 4 reception issue is overrated
I promised myself I wouldn’t blog about this. But I need to comment on the iPhone 4 reception issue since the internets seems to have gone haywire.
1) Apple closing discussion threads on the issue is not, contrary to popular belief, censorhip. Censhorship is when you are prohibited by law to not discuss certain issues. From Apple’s point of view the reception issue is a done deal and there is no reason to post it yet again in their support forums. But if anyone wants to continue the discussion they are free to do so elsewhere (which obviously is the case already).
2) The consumer reports testing is silly and overrated. They are testing the phone in a lab. Just look at their video. Obviously it is not mimicking real-life conditions. The big question is if the iPhone 4 drops more calls than other comparable phones during normal use.
