Here’s what might be hiding in the bushes, ready to bite the AAPL

Google search for - - update 2.0.2 more bars stronger signal - - and you will find MANY reports of a magical increase in the number of bars shown on the display back in 2008.

Here we find a technical explanation of just why apple might have done this.

So - if this “new” fix reverses this, the original problem reemerges for all Apple 3G & 3GS phones, compounded by the new style antenna on iPhone4.

It may be a rough ride for AAPL and ATT

Wow so my comment about Apple giving ATT a bad name is pretty much true. It wasn't ATT that was the primary cause of dropped calls it was the crappy radio code in the iPhone that caused the issue.

Look out Verizon...when you get the iPhone on your network you'll tick off a lot of people as the iPhone drains the cell tower of power because of its buggy code.
