apple blames faulty formula for iphone4 problems
apple kaže:
"We were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong," Apple said in a statement issued Friday morning. "Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays two more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display four bars when we should be displaying as few as two bars."

"The announcement is totally bogus," said a user identified as "Lisa4720" on a fast-growing support forum message thread. "Here's the problem with their new claim: 3GS reception in my home and my husband's office was always 4-5 bars. Today [with iPhone 4] it is nil, nada, nothing even after Apple replaced the iPhone 4s, it remained the same. It's all hooey people. Total, unbelievable hooey."
Other iPhone 4 owners backed up Lisa4720's claim that older iPhones, such as the 3G, retain calls in locations where an iPhone 4 drops them, regardless of the signal strength.

Spencer Webb, an antenna design engineer, has said he believed the reception problem was in the design of the iPhone 4, specifically in Apple's decision to move the cellular and Wi-Fi antennas to the exterior of the case. Webb has recommended that users hold the iPhone 4 in what he called the "Vulcan iPhone pinch" to minimize contact with the external antennas.
