When this came out, this apple iphone 4, it was, according to apple, the single biggest launch in the entire company s history. every product they have ever had, they say nothing matched the launch of the iphone. last thing they want is successive complaints about serious reception problems. it started with people out there saying it was happening to them and picked up on the internet and consumer reports, one of the most popular places in the world to decide whether or not something is worth buying. they are saying they can in the recommend it. here is what an official from consumer reports is saying the problem is. when we tested this device, what we found is that if you hold it a certain way, such that your finger is over a gap in the case in the bottom left-hand side of it, the reception antenna reception is reduced considerably. such that we think people could lose calls in the middle of a call as their reception goes ....
