Here’s a quick question, perhaps someone can answer it?
Steve Jobs admitted the iPhone 4 has worse call connection than the iPhone 3 GS (it drops 1 out of 100 more calls than the iPhone 3GS).
How many calls did the iPhone 3 GS drop? If it drops - normally - 1 out of 100, then the iPhone 4 is twice as bad. If the iPhone 3GS drops one out of 500, then the iPhone 4 is 5 times as bad.
Basically, what is the actual rate of drops? That’s never been given, only an acknowledgment that the iPhone 4 drops more calls than the previous iPhone model.
I thought it quite telling that the iPhone 3GS had 6% returns to the i
Phone 4’s 1.7% return rate.
Can we say “overblown”?
The people who have a problem with the iPhone 4 are people who don’t own one.
Gizmodo reported last year that AT&T was dropping 30% in New York City, That was as a network, not just for iPhone 3Gs. I can't find anything more specific.
“Steve Jobs admitted the iPhone 4 has worse call connection than the iPhone 3 GS (it drops 1 out of 100 more calls than the iPhone 3GS).”
That was WITHOUT the case. With the case, the iPhone 4 is better in just about every regard. Even CR rated it higher than the 3GS.
Much ado about nothing...
