Fuck if that's true there's going to be a LOT of unhappy customers (including me).

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ill test right now

Aaaaaahahahahahahahahaha. Shiny piece of shit.

Holy fuckkkkkkkkkkk i just did it and the fucking bars dipped..........

isn't this exactly what happened when Jobs was trying to demo the phone?

This method also works with your new iPhone. Thank me later.

Juicy try doing it and making sure you arent bridging 2 of the antenna sections together, i wonder if it only happens if u touch the 2 antennas together. One for phone, one for gps/wifi i think...

Huge thread about this on Mac Rumors. Issue is widespread with more people having it than do not. This looks like a huge fuck up!

Interesting design flaw. Guess that explains the dropped calls AT&T was getting flack for.

Is this for real?

Yes and explains why Apple is selling the bumper for the iPhone too.

its hard to imagine that you can develop something like that for 1 or 2 years and not notice

It's probably an intentional fuck up on the phone's design just so they can sell what would almost be a mandatory peripheral. Still hilarious either way.

Agreed, :2 cents:

If that helps, they should give them away. :2 cents:

I think people knew calls were dropping, someone just figured out why. Apple probably knew for a while but had no real fix.

The external antenna is a new feature to the iphone 4 that released today/tomorrow. Completely unrelated to any dropped call issues in the past.

Fuck you Steve Jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


this is a Fugazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzziiiiiiiiiiiiii

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

We got 30 days just in case to return this shit right? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:pimp:helpme:helpme

LOL at all the iPhone fanboys that were slamming the Evo for its problems and build quality. EVERY phone has issues but this is the 4th time around with Apple and they only have ONE phone, unlike HTC that makes dozens. You would think Apple was smarter than that.

apple zombies. meanwhile, back at my house, my Nexus One is awwwwesome :)

do it today, dont delay:pimp

i am burning my Apple turtleneck now and boycotting soy lattes

bumper my asss wtf i gotta get me a real case for this at first glance i didnt realize the bumper shit only wrapped around the phone edges

juicy try this will ya damnit!

"The problem only seems to happen if you bridge the left side black rubber separator.

I can use my index finger only and bridge it and this problem happens. However I can cover up almost the rest of the entire outside band, and as long as I dont bridge to the bottom section I keep 5 bars."

ok let me try that

Damn that sucks. Lots of iphone 4's going to be on ebay today.

yo what time you get yours today? Fed Ex hit me at around noonish....

Didnt get mine yet, tomorrow =(

Lolz

Interesting.

Those are called 'personality lines', they're not 'signal bars' that sounds so pc

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh As an added bonus, your tinfoil hat also picks up all sorts of conspiracy theories and UFO chatter :thumbsup:1orglaugh

YEah, but you see, no one gives a flying fuck.

FOr someone interested in marketing this is really important.

You seem to post on all apple threads where people are being excited about a new product calling us all Apple Zombies.

Why?

What do you think you achieve?

We all know we are apple whores, we all will buy the products The Great Steve gives us and we don't really care that some people don't like apple products.

Do you think name calling will change our minds and we all switch to nexus1s and windows 7?

No.

So does it make you feel better in some way? Is it cathartic for you? Do you feel better in yourself for calling us names?

Whatever the answer, don't you have anything better to do?

:)

I am naked atm

Keep talking.

I get my iPhone today, stay naked so we can FaceTime. And when I say face, I mean cock.

argh damn that sucks, just tried it with my 3g out of curiosity and didnt get the issue, really looking forward to the iphone 4 as well

omg gonna stick with my Sony Ericsson Xperia

iphone 4 buhahahhaha don't touch it so you can speak on it, buhahahahahah

So true.

never buy somethine new when it first comes (technology wise). you're like guinea pigs. lets see what works and what doesn't. i'll wait 6 months. let you people work out the kinks
