Antennagate issue with Apple iPhone4

In the light of iPhone 4's signal issues, let’s get to the core of the problem. To say the least, this whole issue, termed in media as Antennagate, is blown-out-of proportion. Within days after iPhone4′s launch, bloggers jumped, users complained about its receiving problems.

Youtube videos demonstrated that the signal can be lost from 5 bars to 2 or 3 bars by mere touch on the lower left corner of the phone. As with all things Apple, bloggers joined the bandwagon and wrote about it

Apple conducted a press conferenc on 16th July and solved the problem by offering free Bumpers to every iPhone4 it ever sold. Lets get to the crux of it. Every smartphone has a cellular antenna, which when hold in certain way, loses the signal. This happens as the blockade intercepts with its capacity to receive the signal. It happens with ANY phone. But, as Apple acknowledged, in iPhone 4, the signal dampens by mere touch as the user precisely know where to touch– refer the photo. And, using the bumper, or any case, solves the issue, as it prevents the skin contact at the band.Though the solution provided is not permanent, it’s analogous to the Band-aid to lessen the effect of a wound in the mean time. In fact Apple said so when they said they will analyze the issue after September the 30th.
