While the yellow discoloration has been a big issue, the bigger issue seems to be the iPhone 4 reception issue. Hold it the wrong way and you can completely lose your signal. For now Steve Jobs advocates buying a case or not “holding the phone that way.”
“The iPhone 4 has two symmetrical slots in the stainless frame. If you short these slots, or cover them with your hand, the antenna performance will suffer … There is no way around this, it’s a design compromise that is forced by the requirements of the FCC, AT&T, Apple’s marketing department and Apple’s industrial designers, to name a few.”
Is this a joke..? I am so happy that for once, I didn’t rush out to go and buy apple’s new toy. I have always been an early adopter but this time I think I might give it a while before changing phone…
