So with the News of the Day update yesterday, I posted some information in regards to some iPhone 4 users have reported issues with reception and touching the outside Antenna. Well it looks like more and more people are having this issue, heres another article by AppleInsider. I’ll provide some important quotes below.
“One iPhone 4 demonstrated the issue every time it was held in our left hand (as a right-handed person is apt to do) so that our palm was essentially bridging the two antennas),” the report said.
It continued: “Bridging the two with a finger tip, however, didn’t cause any issues with the reported reception. If we had to guess, we’d say that our conductive skin was acting to detune the antenna — in fact, we’ve already managed to slowly kill two calls that way so it’s not just an issue with software erroneously reporting an incorrect signal strength.”
