Apple was on Tuesday facing a growing backlash over poor iPhone 4 reception after the technology group blocked links on its user-support pages to a negative review by an influential US consumer watchdog.
Consumer Reports, the non-profit magazine, on Monday published a review online that stated it had tested three iPhone 4s in controlled settings and found that touching the lower left corner can significantly degrade the signal, causing dropped calls.
Apple deleted references in several online discussions to the consumer groups online posting, leading VentureBeat and investment blogs to pounce on what they described as censorship in the Apple-hosted forums

On the plus side they are selling a lot of the phones with the poorly designed antenna.

The damn thing is all glass. Buy a case!
What censorship on FR? Is there another story here besides the one you posted? Sounds kinda big. And if “at the top” you mean Jim or John, shouldn’t you ping them out of courtesy? Please elucidate.
“What censorship on FR? “
The macbots attempts to keep anyone who disagrees off ‘mac’ threads and to keep any information that is not mac positive off FR.
FUD! FUD! FUD! FUD! FUD! FUD! FUD! FUD! FUD!
Mr. Peel and I have the original iPhone and just upgraded to the iPhone4. We absolutely love it. It is so much faster, it has a stunningly clear display. We are in a fringe area and noticed our dropped calls have significantly decreased with the new phone. Found a couple bugs (facetime)- but nothing worth a “don’t buy” rant.
Is this a ‘Modified limited hangout’ or the standard ‘Hang out’?
THEY JUST CAN'T be hacked. It's NOT POSSIBLE! And anyone who tries to say otherwise, or provides evidence to the contrary, ARE FOREVER DAMNED! ( / hyperventilation)
>>>The macbots attempts to keep anyone who disagrees off mac threads and to keep any information that is not mac positive off FR.
Meanwhile, you sound like the NAACP talking to/about the Tea Party... < /roll eyes>
From what I’ve read the dropped calls issue is very dependent on your location. The more cell towers you have in the immediate area the less of a problem.
Of course if you make that argument then they’ll argue they have never said they are hack proof.
“Meanwhile, you sound like the NAACP talking to/about the Tea Party... < /roll eyes>”
Just another one of your personal attacks keith. Can’t stand the bright lights of reality can ya.
You mean the silly pissing matches I’ve seen regularly between macbots and windows afficionados? I never saw that as censorship, just pissing matches. I’ve never owned a mac so I can’t really weigh in either way. But apparently no one got censored, so I guess the “top” of FR is exhonerated.
Now, I’m not saying some macbots haven’t been obnoxious or smug. Some, not all, have. Just haven’t seen a whole lot of censoring going on.
When people make the argument that only positive mac material should be allowed its censorship. When they say only certain people should be allowed to post their views on a public forum its censorship.

Says the guy who does nothing but revel in personal attack when people don’t toe his line < /roll eyes>
You mean, like birther threads?
