iPhone 4 Grip of Death

Submitted by Mike Robbins on June 25, 2010 – 7:29 pmNo Comment

I’ve been following the iPhone4 release pretty closely.  My employer is an iPhone app developer so it’s a pretty big deal for us. 

The reception problems that have been reported seem to be related to them metal strip running around the edge of the phone.  Unfortunately, holding the phone the way any normal user might hold it causes cell reception to decrease significantly.  Maybe all of those reported dropped call weren’t AT&T’s fault afterall.

Here’s a video that demonstrates this.

UPDATE:  This site reports that a software update to fix this issue should be available early next week.
