I was not planning on posting today but I was having a conversation with my parents that got me very angry. They were saying how they had read numerous articles bashing the iPhone 4's antenna issues and would never buy one now. I am sure there is no need for me to tell you how incredibly awesome the iPhone 4 is, so I am going to focus on the antenna issue.
This may come as a shock to some of you, but firstly: EVERY CELL PHONE EVER MADE HAS A DEATH SPOT. That is, a place where, when you touch it, the signal drops significantly. For my iPhone 3G, it is the bottom right-hand corner - meaning when I hold it, the signal drops in the EXACT SAME WAY THE iPHONE 4 DOES. So this issue really is widely spread. Why is everyone making such a big deal over this? One reason - the spot is marked. People can see directly where the spot is and therefore make a big deal out of it. It is ridiculous.
So, although there is no actual problem with the world's greatest phone, Apple has provided 2 fixes. Firstly, they fixed a software issue whereby the bars were displayed incorrectly. Secondly, Apple is providing a free case to everyone who bought the phone. Not just the Bumper because they said they can't create 3 million of them. They are providing a selection cases from other companies as well. What can I say. THEY ARE AWESOME!!!
So there you have it. The iPhone 4 has no problems. I am definitely going to buy it. On that subject, it has been confirmed to be coming out on the 30th of July.
I hope the media did not throw your mind.

The iPhone 4 has no problems? Are you fucking delusional? Apart from the fact that it's one of the most closed platforms going around, you have to send your phone back to Apple to change your batteries meaning that you can't carry more than one around with you, and the fact that the screen turns into a smudgy piece of shit, you need a case to use it properly without losing signal, and believe me, not every single phone has a death spot that affects it to the extent that the iPhone 4's does. This is because their shitty engineers made the outside of the case act as an antenna meaning that it's very easy to short it out.
The media didn't throw my mind, informed decisions about exactly how shitty a phone/company are is what did it for me. Have fun with your functionally crippled piece of shit.
