Dear, dear misguided Rachel...
If it’s an tiny insignificant issue, then why the emergency PR meeting? Why the promise of free bumpers, and refunds, and new phones coming out?
There’s a reason zealots like you are called fanbois or fangurls!
Look, Steve Jobs said that the new phone drops MORE calls than the old phones. That’s a fact. And if that’s your concept of progress, well, you have a lot more to worry about than phones.
As far as those links go, no one EVER denied signal could be degraded by holding the phone. However, how many of those phones lose signal altogether when you hold them? None - the iPhone 4 has much more signal degradation by simply touching the phone. Drops calls, drops all signal strength.
You lack any context or mental ability to scale the issue; your logic skills are woefully lacking here!
LOL
If other phones drop calls why the hand wringing over Apple?
Simple, because Apple has enemies. For all the reasons we have repeatedly expressed. Why do you spend your precious few minutes of life on this Earth bashing this one group of people? Why the hate? Why the rage? What is the motivation and gain? I am here to REFUTE the hate. If the hate stops, I will just share some fun comments with some friends on a mutual topic of interest. Coffee chat.
But you create threads, search out for any conceivable flaw, and then ride it to absurdity, with wild predictions of doom and "FATAL FLAWS" and predicting billions of dollars in losses. You are never right. It is always either NOTHING, or much ado ABOUT nothing, or the splinter in Apple's eye while you ignore the planks in your eye.
Why?
Only one thing makes sense. You gain personal emotional satisfaction on the alienation, harassment, intimidation, and general bullying of others. You found some kids on the play ground who will cry when you act out, so for the attention, you act out in this over the top, aggressive and relentlessly obsessive hatred.
Which is why I scorn you so and call you a sick dog. There is no other purpose for you heavy handed vitriol.
