Amazon 7 #1 July 2, 2010 Oh Markiepoo.... its a tough world out there Apple ‘stunned’ to find flaw in iPhone 4 Company says call drops seems exaggerated because incorrect bar display NEW YORK — Apple Inc. said Friday that it was "stunned" to find that its iPhones have for years been using a "totally wrong" formula to determine how many bars of signal strength they are getting. Apple said that's the reason behind widespread complaints from users that the latest model, iPhone 4, can show a sudden plunge in signal strength when they hold it in a way that covers a small black strip on one edge of the phone. Users online have jokingly called this the "death grip" for the phone. That drop seems exaggerated because the phone can wrongly display four or five bars of signal strength when it shouldn't, Apple said. "Their big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place," the company said in a letter to users. Apple launched the iPhone 4 on June 24 in the U.S. and four other countries AT&T Inc., the exclusive iPhone carrier in the U.S., has faced much of the users' blame for dropped calls and poor wireless performance. Apple apologized to customers Friday "for any anxiety we may have caused." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tkhayes 348 #10 July 2, 2010 There are few products out there that I want to run out and buy the second they are released. There are always a few bugs and I kind of like the 2nd or even 3rd generation. Including cars, computers, OS's, phones, pretty much anythig that involves new technology. One of the few that i would clal near-perfect when it came off the shelf was the Cypres AAD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
